New error log faulty/Forum Quiz

Question

Hi, while using the Forum Quiz and error log later, I noticed an error, particularly for Verbal questions. The new error log seems to log every choice I make (for e.g. For Q2 I switch from Choice A to Choice B while attempting the question itself when the timer is running), it gets recorded as a new question. This shows an erroneous result for every quiz taken?

Is there a way to switch back to the old error log if we found that more effective?

Attached a screenshot of this. Same qn appears thrice since I change my answer thrice, before finally choosing the right answer.

Pls suggest as I am a subscriber of Forum Quiz.

P.S. so basically even though I have only taken one question, the error log logs it as three different questions, therefore skewing the numbers. An initially chosen 5-question quiz now reflects as 7 questions (2 extra = 2 changes in answer choices)

This is how it works. 
Every attempt is logged.
The idea is you answer the question when you are ready to answer it….

maybe I am missing the idea behind changing the answer. Why do you change it? Why do you take multiple attempts… ?

I think the part I am most interested in is why you allow yourself changing answers. This is a very untraditional use case with answer changing. Just curious what the idea is behind it. You solve the question, answer it, and then you realize you made a mistake or?

Hi bb, yes, so usually I encounter this when doing slightly challenging problems, say 700-level LSAT problems, where two answer choices are quite close after eliminating the others and I am still trying to figure out which could be the right one. So yes, happens when I choose a choice, and then change my mind to go for the other one. After this I click Next and move on to the next question.

Ofcourse usually not an issue for fairly straightforward questions.

In any case, the number of overall questions in the Quiz also seems to reset (and therefore accuracy % is affected) if I changed my ans choice for any question. For e.g. in the screenshot attached, I did a small quiz of just 5 questions on CR. But the error log seems to log this as 7 questions, and gives an accuracy score of 57% (4/7 right). Vs in reality,
I got 3/5 right (60%). Even if the error log records every move in the answer choices, it would be helpful if the overall quiz accuracy reflects the final choice chosen and does not record the case in which we changed an answer choice in the Quiz as a wrong answer.

I know it sounds a bit confusing, do let me know if its not clear

Agreed, had the same observation on these 2 points. bb - in addition, could we look to add the ability to the Post/ discussions by clicking anywhere on the question instead of just that 1 small box? Or is it like a big change, if so the current layout is manageable. PS a good change btw, I think it looks clean and has a lot more insights at the outset as opposed to having to get these details from individual tabs one can just blaze through the error log itself

Hi everyone, we have been able to update the error log and fix hopefully all of the duplication issues (it seems when filtering, some questions were shown multiple times, and sometimes 4 or 5 times). That has been addressed and hopefully never to come back but would appreciate if you could check and let me know if things are not up to standards.

P.S. We have also added numbering to the RC questions - that disappeared last time.

Thank you everyone for your feedback and comments!
