Question about ‘Select All That Apply’

Hi again monzab,
I think you’ve finally asked for something that I cannot readily provide a solution to.

The reason that the “Select all that apply” works the way it does is to stop an unfair advantage. The user does not know how many of the answers are the correct ones, so if we forcing them to select would give an unfair advantage.

For example, if I have a question “Select all that apply” with 10 possible answers and three of them being correct – the user needs to correctly select the three to have answered the question “correct”. The key is that the user doesn’t know that three answers are needed – they might only answer two of them thinking they got them all. If you force them to make three selections then its kind of like giving them a major hint.

I understand that the reason you want to do this is so that if they select 2 correct answers and ignore the third, due to using WP Pagination on your site, they could go to the next page without seeing the question marking. Unfortunatly, this is just one of many disadvantages of using WP Pagination (If you used normal pagination then they could simply see their markings once the quiz was completed).

In order to do what you want, you’d need to add some custom code that will load on quiz_init and check the page for any questions that are the data-type select_all_apply_text. If it finds one, it then needs to A) check the answers to see how many are correct, B) disable the next/finish button, C) add event listeners for the answers so we know each time an answer has been made, D) on that event listener see if the total selected answers === total correct answers E) if D === true, re-enable the next/finish buttons.
