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?

Hello all,
We’re excited to invite volunteers to test a potential competency-based quiz feature in Rise! This feature might be especially useful for pre-test scenarios. If you’d like to get early access and share feedback, sign up here to participate.
Thank you!FYI: I developed a workaround for having a pretest in a Rise course:

The post links to a demo includes details about how it's done. It also lists some important caveats.
I am looking for this capability as well!
It has been 4 years and it doesn't seem this feature has been added yet. This would be extremely helpful for a course I am building now. If students pass the pretest they complete the course and move to the final page to complete the course survey. If they don't pass, they have to move through the course as normal. Is this on the list to build in Rise? Did anyone else find a simple solution for this?
I agree a pretest feature is needed.
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.
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.
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
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.
Hi Karl, Our LMS has that function as well. It is just you can build in that functionality with other eLearning solutions. After all the time that has elapsed, I'm guessing Articulate is either not able to or does not wish to develop a pretest. That, in itself, was a deal breaker for me.
Our organization would like this functionality as well. +1
