 * Hi Alex.
    I created a multiple-choice quiz with 30 questions and the following
   features:
 * 1) Quiz Format:
    – Do not show question feedback – 1 question per page
 * 2) Completion Option
    – Email (me) when the quiz has been taken.
 * To my surprise, after I tested it, I received 30 confirmation emails. I supposed
   it has something to do with the pagination. Can you look into it when you have
   a chance?
 * Regards,
    Humberto

   straight forward to fix…

 * Hi Alex.
    I tested this again, this time with 50 questions and without the email(
   me) upon quiz completion. Though the the quiz presents all questions as expected,
   when you reach the end, it does not submit the quiz in the first time the user
   confirms quiz completion.
 * I had to confirm 3 times. Then the quiz showed the results online, but failed
   to save quiz results database.
 * I suspect this has something to do with pagination.
 * Note that if you show to show one question at a time, the plugin submits one 
   email per page shown onscreen upon quiz completion.
 * Hope this throws some extra light into this issue.
 * Regards,
 * Humberto

 * Hi again – I’ve spent a bit of time fixing many AJAX errors I hadn’t noticed 
   on the quiz page submit function.
    I’ve basically rewritten several parts from
   scratch – latest code updated on guthub. Make sure you clear your cache to get
   the latest css and JS versions.
 * Please let me know how you get on.
    best wishes, Alex

 * Hi Alex. The following are excellent updates.
    – “Please wait, loading…” message.–
   The same goes for “Save and continue” and “Save and Go Back”. Great implementation,
   though I think the buttons are oversized. – Quiz result report: The way you’re
   presenting answer validations and incorrect choices is perfect. The colors are
   balanced, the report visually appealing, and easy to read.
 * Some bugs and possible areas for improvement.
 * ==================================
    Multiple Choice and Blank Filling. ======
   ============================ (1) The question distance from the question number
   is too small. The questions is too close to the gray line. You can either increase
   the distance or check whether getting rid of “all” division lines will get you
   the breathing space I miss. Alternatively, getting rid of the line between alternatives
   will offer a clear, minimalist design. Although I like it, it is a personal choice.
 * (2) The box that brings the “Grade Boundary” result adds an extra paragraph space
   in the end of the text.
 * (3) When I show one question per page in the 50-question quiz, the test works
   as expected.
    When the report is shown on screen,… 3.1 The report takes an eternity
   to load. 3.1. It displayed originally 4 answers and a long blank sheet. After
   some time (long time) the report was fully loaded. The users will get confused
   and think this is a glitch, or something went wrong with their tests, 3.2. The
   admin report (/wp-admin/options.php?page=ek-user-attempt&attemptID=138) is perfect.
   3.3 I still got 50 emails informing a user had taken the quiz. ==============
   ========= Blank filling Quizzes ======================= (4) When the quiz is 
   over, the final report includes the quiz instructions.
 * =================================
    Multiple choice quizzes (single choice) ==
   =============================== (5) Please check the persistent behavior that
   allows users to check two alternatives. (you’ll probably have to change answers
   more than once to replicate such behavior). This is happening on mobile devices.(
   didn’t have a chance to check on desktops.)
 * I suppose this is a good starting point.
    All the best, Humberto

 * Good morning, Alex.
    One more comment for your reference. The question boxes 
   now have a transparent background. Previously, the boxes had bg color. I am unsure
   whether that’s a design choice or whether that’s the reason I can see the horizontal
   lines under the question number and alternatives. BW, Humberto
