HI All,

Here’s what the instructor would like: Online Practice Exam consisting of 22 
questions.  Student submits it and receives feedback on the current version and 
can look over her answers compared with correct answers. IF she has more than 
35% she gets access to a folder of each of the problems separately in practice 
mode so she can choose which one(s) she wants to work with and generate 
variations on her own.  If she has less than 35% she takes another randomly 
generated variation of the exam with the same possible outcomes as the first — 
35% or better allows access to the individual problems in practice mode, less 
than 35% leads to a variation of the same exam. After the third attempt, 
automatic access to the problems in practice mode.

I know from experience this requires three copies of the same exam in authoring 
space. Since the exam is one long problem with one submit button, I’ve written 
code to provide feedback on individual questions when the page reloads, so 
that’s covered, and it also calculates the % correct to display to the student. 
 Is there a way via an EXT function or otherwise, however, to access in a 
conditional for the sequence the percent of the questions that the student got 
right?  I’m thinking there is not since at the problem level there’s just 1 or 
0, awarded credit or not awarded credit…. I think.  Am I missing something?  
And there’s no way to pass my percent correct variable into the sequence, is 
there?  I keep thinking of having a hidden numericresponse where I put the 
percent correct when the problem is submitted, but I don’t know the percent 
correct until after submission…

Also, any way to control access to a FOLDER rather than a Resource via a 
conditional sequence?  I know that if I put the three practice exams in 
sequence as the last thing in the course with the folder of individual problems 
following, I can just not provide a free bypass to the Finish of the sequence 
so that subsequent content is only available upon meeting one of the imposed 
conditions, but can a folder be directly incorporated into a sequence?

Thanks as always!

Doug
