passing score of 80%

Hello,
I've been doing all my courses with a complete/incomplete status. The 5 courses I created have 60 pages each and 10 to 12 quiz questions. If a question is answered incorrect we clock "try again" and it goes to remedial content and then goes back to quiz for a second try.I am not employing any post quiz review pages or scores.
Problem is I am now being asked to show a percentage score off 80% in order to pass. (The student will fail if under 80%.) Question: how can I do this with all of the quizzes broken up with content between them? Do i have to have them all in a row? I think i did with Quizmaker. I am using storyline.
thanks, chase

Hi Chase! If I'm understanding your question correctly, and all your quiz questions are within modules of a single course, then I think all you need to do is go to your Results slide (or add one if you're not already using one). On that slide, click the "Edit Result Slide" button on the right side of the developer window. A new window should open listing all the questions in the project, and you can put a check mark in any questions that need to contribute to your final score. And lower in that same window, there is a field where you can specify the 80% passing score you want. There are some other helpful items on the Options tab in this window, as well.
On most older LMS setups out there (unless you're already using the Experience API (aka Tin Can)), you can only pass back one final score to an LMS. But your questions that make up that final score can be spread out through your modules. Others may have more to add.
I hope this helps!

I always suggest to clients that they have a 100% pass score, it helps take away these problems.
If the questions really are important, I see no reason for the old "80% rule".
We can both save time, because there's 20% of the information that's obviously not really that important
thanks everyone. yes, it was easy to do the 80% thing. I think quizmaker experience got me concerned. i talked the client out of this anyway and have incomplete/complete.
thanks again!
Hi, I have the same problem now. Client wants 80% passmark.... but only 8 questions in the quiz... they wanted that the learner will still pass after getting atleast 7 correct answers... my question is how many pts should I put on each question? I used 1pt but it messes up the grading. Can somebody pls help me....
Hi Ashley
isn't 7 out of 8 questions a pass mark of 87.5%?
Ill try that.. Thanks Wendy.. also how many points per item? I also created a variable so it will count how many correct items did the learner answered but it seems that its giving me a wrong count. I put the variable on every "correct" layer so everytime the learner gets a correct answer it will add 1 pt. I put the number of the count in the result slide as well for the learner to see how many correct items they got. But I always end up getting a wrong count at the end... :(
Hi Ashley
instead of the default 10 points why not try 12.5 which is 8 x 12.5 = 100 which is what they what they would get if they got 8 out of 8 correct 100%. If they get 7 out of 8 correct you will get 7 x 12.5 = 87.5% which is the pass mark - hope that helps.
Thanks Wendy. but it seems Articulate Storyline 2 is not accepting a number that has .5 or .75... :( I just might try 12 then do a 96% passmark instead.. or 84%passmark with 1 mistake..... thank you so much for the idea... :)
