PreTest in Rise if Pass Course Complete
Will Rise allow you to insert a pretest that if learners pass they can show complete for the course?

Any update on when this feature will be available in Rise? I see the last comment on this thread was over a year ago.
Hi
Agree with Sam Rogers comments of a year ago , especially for mandatory learning modules repeated every year ..do we really need learners to do the "click through shuffle" ignoring content and debasing the benefit of eLearning by being a tick box exercise. A sweet function would be a pretest which then had the ability to display only the modules that the user didn't have a clear enough understanding of (based on right or wrong answers)..any news on this function becoming a reality ?
ThanksThanks Nate for taking the time to suggest a work around much appreciated
+1 pre-test, pre-test, pre-test, pre-test. That was actually 4 more requests :)
Is there a number that needs to be reached before the Dev Team takes action? Would be great to know what that is! Thank you :)
Our organization would like this functionality as well. +1
Just unearthing this post from 8 months ago again... and commenting in support as I am interested in any updates as they come up.
If you are using a LMS, check if it has a pre-test function.
In our LMS we can set up a larger course that consists of a pre-test and a Rise course. The pre-test is created within the LMS itself. If the pre-test is passed, the larger course is marked as completed and students do not have to take the associated Rise course.
I understand that. In our LMS I have functionality that we currently use to build a program with a pre test that leads to a course or skips and then a post test but it would be nice to have the functionality in the course (when were just looking for competence and not comparing data) that way it's all a course and not a program. As tilly as it sounds users get intimidated when they are assigned a program rather than a course.
I know I can just use storyline but my users really prefer Rise.
I'm adding my voice to the long list of those requesting pre-test functionality. I have a client with a lot of compliance courses that all staff are required to complete annually. Currently, their old versions are built in Storyline, where they can offer the pre-test, and if they pass, they skip directly to the certificate page at the end. If they do not, they are required to take the full course before taking another version of the test at the end (question banks) and earning the certificate.
One way or another, we really need Rise to be able to offer this kind of basic branching for compliance course purposes. It would be great to hear that Articulate is working on addressing this fundamental gap in Rise's capabilities. This client wants to build their own content, and wants to use Rise for its simplicity, but this inability to offer the pre-test is a deal breaker for them. Thanks.
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for sharing your experience. It's exciting to know you've worked out how to build a pretest course like this.
We currently also have a need to create a course that quite similar with the compliance courses you mentioned. Very keen to learn from you expertise and insights.
Are you happy to share anything about the design in Storyline? Thanks very much in advance.
This User Guide article has information about how to track quizzes in Storyline. It includes details about indicating whether a quiz is a Pretest or a Final Assessment: https://access.articulate.com/support/article/Storyline-360-More-Quizzing-and-Tracking-Options#tracking-quizzes
The original posting was FOUR years ago, my request was ten months ago, and yet Articulate still states this is not on their road map. They need someone else in charge of product development, as they are not listening to the current and prospective future customers. PLEASE INCORPORATE PRETESTS INTO RISE. PLEASE MAKE THIS A PRIORITY. FOUR YEARS IS WAY TOO LONG AND TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. Either state outright you will not do this, or make it happen. Thank you.
Will Rise allow you to insert a pretest so learners who pass can show completed for the course, those who fail will need to take the full course?
This function would be a great addition to Rise 360.
I agree a pretest feature is needed.
