I was able to solve this problem by adding jQuery.noConflict(); to the beginning of master.js and replacing each instance of $ with jQuery.
I do have another question though. WIth the project that I am working on, I need to track the progress of users and how they score over multiple quizzes. I plan to use localStorage to keep track of their score across multiple quizzes. My question is that are there such variables, like correctQuestions and totalQuestions, that update after every question? For example, if I were to get question correct, both correctQuestions and totalQuestions would increase by one, which I can then use to update my localStorage variables that already have the number of questions they got right and the number of total questions from previous quizzes.
I suppose I could just calculate their overall score over multiple quizzes after each one ends, using the score and questionCount varibles from SlickQuiz that display your final score after you complete a quiz. However, I would like to be able to update their score over multiple quizzes after each question.
