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.

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.

Just reached out to support today and it's still not even on the roadmap. After several instances like this, I'm convinced that Articulate really pays little attention to the needs of the community and/or simply doesn't have enough development resources to keep up with a quickly changing landscape. For a basic functionality such as this to take over 2 years to develop (and it's still not on the roadmap) is pretty poor IMO.

Plus one vote!

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 also need this feature to be able to assess effectiveness of learning content. We will allow learners to test out but want to capture pre-and post-test scores so we can compare to see if course helped them learn.
Hi Garvin!
Thanks for reaching out! We appreciate the feedback on how the Pre-Test feature could benefit you when authoring in Rise 360!
I've included your voice in the Feature Report! We’ll update this discussion as soon as there is any news to share about this.

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!

Count me in as needing this as well. Features such as these shouldn't be put on a roadmap years after it is available in other tools. A company as established as Articulate should surely have a small team dedicated to horizon scanning of what is trending in the space and compressing seat time has been a big deal for quite some time now.

Yes! Pre-test features are a staple component of many LMS-based courses. Our clients want to have this included in the Rise courses we create! Please add my vote for this feature!!!

Yes, please!

Would also love the pre-test feature. This is the big reason we can't use Rise for many of our courses.
