Is "If then" or other tabulation possible in Author

I am trying to create a game or quiz in which the correct answers are tabulated and the number correct then revealed at the end of the quiz. I understand the branching statements that I need to do, but don't know how to "tabulate" the final number based on the number of correct answers chosen. Where can I find out if that is event possible and then, if it is possible, how to do the scripting or branching. 10 questions, 4 possible answers to each question. With the ability to re-answer each question.  The "answers" would be jpg files chosen by button push (touch screen input) with the appropriate correct answer tally being a jpg file chosen by an "if then" statement or some better way that you kind people might suggest.   THANKS!

    Can be done:

    Can be done using variables and conditional targets.

    Conditional targets are essentially "if  'x' equals 2" then complete some task. You can use it to override a default transition or specify one.

    I understand what you are suggesting, but I have not written scripts before and am not sure how to add these to the BrightAuthor program.  Are there any sources for learning how to do this programming?  I am definitely a newbie in this part of programming.  I have done a fairly extensive multi-page touchscreen system, but it was all direct access and no variables.  In this programming, I'm also trying to have the tabulated number of correct answers be a single screen at the end, not a continuing tabulation. Any help anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated. THANKS!
