please include the images so we can run your program to see whats wrong.

For a counter, its pretty straight forward, create two variables, one for right answers and one for wrong. If the user gets the right answer then do something like this:

 
var right : int := 0 
var wrong : int := 0 

if answer1 = "b" then
        put "yes, you are correct ;)"
        right += 1      % adds 1 to counter (right)
    elsif  answer1 = "a" then
        put " no sorry thats not right... :("
        wrong += 1   % adds 1 to counter (wrong)
 end if

You have a very confusing program but as D-homes put it, you need to have 1 - 2 variables.
If you use one you can do the following:
var counter := 0

loop
    %Ask questions
    %If right answer, then counter := counter + 1 -or- counter += 1
    %After 10 questions
    put "You got " + intstr (counter) + " answers right and " + intstr (10 - counter) + " wrong..."
    exit when game_over = true
end loop
