Creating a Test Out at the beginning of Rise Course
Is there a way to offer a quiz at the beginning of the Rise Course that if the employee scores a certain percentage, the course is considered passed/completed? If the employee does not pass, the course must be completed in its entirety and the quiz is at the end for the employee to retake.
I'm bumping up the request to add a pre-test feature in Rise. I've been asked to add a pre-test to an existing Rise course I built for my customer and I'm sad to find out I can't do this in Rise. I 100% agree with Cathy's comment above. This feature would be great to have!
Thank you for the feedback, Michelle and Gabriela!
The timing of a feature from development to release depends on the feature roadmap. Some features take priority, and others can be quicker to spruce up! Unfortunately, I don't have a specific timeline to share publicly.
I've added your comments to our feature request to reflect how many people are interested in this feature. If this makes it on our roadmap, I'll share it in this discussion.
If this is the way the roadmap is mostly created, then i would suggest to take a look at " microsoft voting for features system" or something similar.
That way, when you present the feature suggestions to the forum users, we can add a vote with dedicated button.. facilitate sorting etc..
We would also be able to easily follow the progress/status of the features development.
See example screenshot.
Adding our comments AGAIN...this feature is desperately needed, especially for modules that must be completed year over year. The ease of use of RISE over Storyline is great, but without this feature, we are stuck creating an initial module in RISE and a repeatable module in Storyline. Not a great use of time or resources.
This post describes how to create a Rise course with a pretest:
TIP: Build a Rise Course with a Pretest - Rise 360 Discussions - E-Learning Heroes (articulate.com)
Caveats:
- The course can't use the built-in navigation menu.
- The program can't tell the LMS if the user passed the pretest or if they went through the content. And it can't tell the LMS the user's score. But it can tell the LMS that the user "completed" the course.
And, yes, it would be better if Articulate added the option to include a pretest that would unlock all the other content if the user passed the pretest, and require the rest of the content (possibly including a Quiz) if they failed the pretest.
Thank you so much for sharing this, Judy!
Is this the "map" for the project?
UPDATE: Optional Lesson 5 links back to Lesson 2.
I'm assuming you have another completion trigger in the Final Completion SL block (Lesson 2) if someone fails the test-out but passes the post-content quiz. Is that correct?
Also, instead of having users go back to Lesson 2 after passing the post-content quiz in Lesson 4, can you have the lesson following the post-content quiz (lesson 5) be another SL block that completes the course (pretty much a dupe of lesson 2 but with one less click)?Thanks again!
Adding another vote for a pre test option. We want to add a test out option to our compliance courses which are all built in Rise. Is there any idea of when this feature may be added?
We need this is as well. We have a mixture of Storyline and Rise courses, and for Storyline we have the test-out built into the module. But for Rise, we are looking at having to use 2 modules in a section where the user has to pass one of the two modules, We would rather be able to do it all in the same module.
Please add my vote for the need for Pre-Test feature.
Hello Dan,
Thanks for reaching out! I've added your vote for a pretest feature in Rise 360. We'll let you know if this is added in a future release.
In the meantime, here's how we manage feature requests that we receive.
Hi Bridget! Since only one quiz can be used for tracking in Rise 360, I suggest starting the course with the quiz. If the learner doesn't pass, they can be directed to view the remainder of the content. Then, add a button at the end of the last lesson that will bring them back to the quiz at the beginning of the course to retake it.
Check out this example for inspiration: Using a Pre-Test to Guide Learning
Unfortunately using the button stack doesnt work. Learners can go straight to the assessment but if they fail, there is no way of directing them back to the content.
Is there a way to keep them from trying the quiz over and over if at the beginning? Since you have to come back to it, you can't set it for no retries. I tried changing the label from "TAKE AGAIN" TO "PASS-EXIT FAIL-CONTINUE" But it is too confusing and they click continue there and it goes back to the beginning of the test. Just want a way to give them one try at the beginning, then they must continue to the course, then be able to take the quiz again.
Kind of an old thread but can you put a quiz at the beginning and the same quiz at the end? The first quiz would have zero retries but the quiz at the end would have unlimited.
There is a way to include a pretest in Rise. To limit the user to 1 try for the pretest, that would be in a Storyline block. This post has details:

Caveats:
- The course can't use the built-in navigation menu.
- The program can't tell the LMS if the user passed the pretest or if they went through the content. And it can't tell the LMS the user's score. But it can tell the LMS that the user "completed" the course.
And, yes, it would be a lot easier, with more options and fewer caveats, if Articulate would add pretest functionality to Rise. Besides "+1"ing that here, folks can submit a feature request here: Help Us Improve Our E-Learning Software by Submitting a Feature Request (articulate.com)
Hi Cathy,
You would need to give the learner multiple retries since they have to come back to the quiz at the end of the course. However, I can understand why you would need the option to limit the retries for the first pass! Ultimately it sounds like you need a pre-test feature, so I'll be sure our team sees your request.
Hello! Any update on the pre-test feature?
Hi Michelle,
We're still tracking requests for this feature, and we don't have updates at this time. We'll be sure to share it here as soon as we do!
Would love to see this!
