Assessments and Confidence Levels

I would like to build a 15-20 question assessment that has various answer scores (some questions/answers receive 10 points, while others might receive values of 2, 3 or 5 points based upon the weight or significance of the question). Then, I would like to know the learner's confidence level that they selected the correct answer on each question. The summary must have the completed assessment answer value, the final assessment confidence value and the final weighted assessment value that includes the confidence score. Do I need to account for the question value difference, e.g., scores that might be 2 points while others might be 10 points or is a final confidence value of 65%  x the total assessment final score sufficient and correctly valid? Does the final printed score report accommodate this scored value with confidence? As you can see, stat was never a favorite subject for me. Thanks for your assistance.

      Hi Kevin! If you're still in the community, I would love to chat about the work you did with this. I'm trying to do something very similar and I'm struggling with finding a way to have the course present all of my scenarios in random order, and repeat until the user answers correctly with high confidence, and remember the learner's progress in my LMS if they can't finish in one sitting. I'd love to learn more about what has worked for others!

    Hi Dave! You're not alone...Stats is a hard one for me too! I haven't created anything like what you described, but I did see this other discussion on a similar topic. In that discussion, Kevin Hayes shares a link to an example that includes a confidence rating. I hope that sparks some new ideas!
