How to remove Next button

[cave]

I created a scored survey to let respondents to vote for the best design products. Survey consists of single page with 2 types of items - picture and checkbox, one set per product.
Value for each checkbox is 1. The requirement is to vote for 3 products and only 1 response per participant of the survey. I created error page which appears only if the current score is not equal to "3" (condition). The last page is "Thank you for participating in the survey!" with Finish button.

Question:
How to handle cases when respondents selected wrong amount of products (less or more then 3)? They will get an error page asking to go back and correct, however there is Next button in this page too which will lead to "Thank you..." page. The respondent will not be able to edit his/her response as it is in submitted status (limit of 1 response per user), right?

I think this can be done with a clever application of a Redirect Item and application of conditions.

On the completion page of the survey, add the following:

1. Add "Success" message to be shown when score is correct. Edit conditions to only show item when score is correct.
2. Add "Fail" message to be shown when score is not correct. Edit conditions to only show item when score is not correct.
3. Add redirect item with the following settings and edit conditions so the item is only shown when score is not correct.
   URL - [YOUR SURVEY URL]&Edit=true&ResponseId=@@ResponseGuid
   Hyperlink Text - Click To Change Answer (or something similarly appropriate)
   Link Option - Show Link
   Restart Survey - No
4. Edit survey permissions to ensure that "Allow Edit" is true and that "Responses Per User" is equal to 1.

With the above settings, when a user has the correct score, he/she will see the success message. When the score is not correct, the user will be redirected back to the first survey page and will have the opportunity to change their answer(s).

Thanks for the hint!
Each participant has different URL, because we planned to distribute "by invitation only".
This makes impossible to define the redirect item pointing to the same unique URL. Or we probably should change permisions mode.
On the other hand, this approach results to hyperlink with text "Click to Change Answers" and does not prevent users to click any of standard buttons below (Back, Save and Exit, Next) or (Back, Finish). Maybe I should additional item with long empty space to move those buttons down far away?

Things should still work out with an invitation-only survey. Assuming that you are using Checkbox to send the invitations, you can capture the invitation id in the survey URL with a Hidden Item, and pipe that value into your survey link for your redirect. Invitations are stored in URLS with in the i parameter, and when the invitation id is present, the survey GUID is not necessary.

Regarding the buttons, you can hide the "Save and Exit" as well as the "Back" button on the survey, and since the link itself will be on the Completion Events page, no buttons will be displayed on that page any way.
