option to allow skip or no skip

it will be nice to have the option to not allow the user to skip a question unanswered. in certain cases I seen users skipping questions by mistake due to mouse extra click where the question is counted totally wrong.

I can see that would be a useful feature for the future.

In the meantime you could use question level feedback to make sure that they are aware that they have missed a question and give quiz takers the option to review their answers before sending the results to the server.

Sam there is a 'workaround' for this - although not officially supported. Firstly, make a backup of your source file before you try this.

Then use a text editor to find the line in your source file (the .qwz) -

<pair name="forceattempt" value="False" />

Change this to

<pair name="forceattempt" value="True" />

This will ensure that a valid attempt is made at the question before the next button is made visible.

It works best with multiple choice style questions and not so well with partial credit style questions where selection no options is considered a valid response.
