Exam Settings

Access settings through the floating menu when editing an exam:

Minimum Score

• Set the percentage of questions learners must answer correctly to pass (0-100%)

• Default is 60%

• Recommended thresholds:

  • Higher scores (80%+) for critical knowledge

  • Moderate scores (60-70%) for general comprehension

  • Lower scores for introductory material

Progression Control (Must Complete to Proceed)

• When this setting is enabled, learners:

  • can not navigate away once they start the exam

  • can not proceed to lessons that are located after an exam marked as must complete

• When disabled, learners can proceed regardless of their score and can exit the exam if needed

• Best practice: Enable for critical knowledge checkpoints, disable for optional assessments

Learner Experience

When a learner encounters an exam:

1. Introduction Screen shows:

   • Number of questions

   • Minimum score required

   • Options to begin or return to previous lesson

   

2. During the Exam:

   • Progress indicator appears at the top

   • Questions are presented sequentially

   • Learners select answers and proceed through all questions

3. After Completion:

   • If passed: Success message with score and options to review or continue

   • If failed: Score display with minimum required and option to retry

   

Best Practices

• Place exams strategically after important concepts or before advancing to complex topics

• Create multiple shorter exams rather than one long exam to improve learner experience and retention

• Vary question types to test different aspects of understanding

• Write clear, unambiguous questions that directly relate to learning objectives

• Set appropriate difficulty levels based on audience and course goals

• Review generated questions to ensure accuracy and relevance

• Remember that changing exam questions will reset learner progress
