Pre-test and Posttest in One Course

Hello Carrie,

You could have them jump to a results slide without them knowing by using variables. If the pass the pre test you can set a true/false variable to change to True, then have that slide jump to the next results slide if they pass. On the second results slide have a trigger to jump to the final results slide on timeline start  if the variable is = true.

Attached is a basic example of this.

Hello Carrie!

You would need to adjust the final slide to account for if they only take the one. You could test 40% and see if that works when taking one or the other or both. This is why it would matter as the whether or not you need them to see the score, as 40% does not look as good as 80 or 100 on the final, but if passing is the only requirement, you could set that final score to whatever works to get them to pass :)

Hello Leslie,

I took the info presented in this discussion: 

http://www.tracyparish.ca/2013/02/creating-and-tracking-a-storyline-course-with-multiple-quizzes.html

I reworked this info and the samples provided it to derive  a .story file that will report to the LMS

90% if the Pretest is passed
80% if the Content quiz (post test) is passed

I used variables and OR conditions on the triggers to set radio buttons to True on 8 or 9 T/F questions out of 10  respectively.  The results of these on a Final results page is reported to the LMS.

This is a better solution for what I need because now I can distinguish between which test was passed.   Of course you could do it with only two questions, but I wanted the records to reflect the achievement of the minimum passing thresholds for each quiz respectively.

Hello Carrie!

You can add 2 quizzes into the course. One way to set this up would be to have a separate results slide for the pre and post test, then a final results slide at the end that will calculate the score from both results slides. You can then report using this final slide to the LMS.  You may need to adjust the final results slides passing score, as they may only take the pre test. 

Thank you, Emily, for your reply! I have read the instructions and have 2 concerns for my specific situation:

1. The Tip after Step 3 says that learners would have to visit each of the tracked result slides to complete the course. I would like for learners to be able to A. Skip the pre-test if desired and B. If they take and pass the pre-test to get credit without completing/visiting the posttest.

2. The learner has to pass the pre-test with a score of 100% in order to pass. It doesn't appear from Step 3 that I could set the final results slide to allow for the 100% requirement for the pre-test OR the 80% requirement for the posttest.

Thank you!

Hi Carrie!

Do you need to show the actual grade when hitting the results slide, or just that they passed/failed? If you do not need the score, you would have to adjust the final results slide to have a passing grade that would accommodate if they took only one or both of the tests.

Showing the score is not mandatory. But, if I understand the directions correctly, it seems I would be limited to the lower of the two scores (80%).

My biggest concern is my first question--do learners have to visit each of the tracked result slides to complete the course?

I want learners to be able to be able to pass the pre-test without taking the posttest at all/visiting the posttest results slide, which seems impossible when I read the Tip under Step 3 of your link.

Thanks!

I will try that. Thank you for your help!

Hope it works out for you Carrie!

I am sure if other members have other ideas to make this work they will chime in as well.
