Can you replace a Rise Assessment with an Engage Quiz?

I agree with Tom's suggestion about working with the Articulate support team to figure out why Rise quizzes are lagging in your LMS. You can contact them here: https://access.articulate.com/support/contact 

I also agree that if you decide to use an alternate program for the quiz, it would be better to use a Storyline block. However, be aware that Rise doesn't report quiz results from Storyline blocks. 

Here's one way to ensure that the user passes the quiz before they complete the Rise course.

• Set up the Storyline quiz with a Completion trigger on the Success layer.
• When you publish the Storyline file to Review 360, set tracking via that trigger. (Be sure it is not set to track via completing the quiz.) 
• After you insert the Storyline block in Rise, add a Continue button that is locked until the Storyline block is completed. 
• After that Continue block, I suggest adding a block that tells the user they are done with the course and/or with that provides other summary info. 

Added note: When you publish the Rise course for an LMS, you can track either via the completion trigger in the quiz Storyline block or via course completion = 100%.
