Storyline scales score by half when reporting to the LMS

Hi everyone, Editing my question because I solved one reporting problem (the issue was in the LMS) but ran into another. While [QuizName].ScorePoints tracks the score correctly throughout the quiz...

Hello Nilli,

Thanks for reaching out!

I took a look at your course and saw that Storyline 360 is not scaling the score down, but rather reporting the final score as a percentage to your LMS. Here's an example, with 170 being the perfect score for the quiz: 

The missing 15% in the score is because some of the question slides in your course were being left unanswered due to its branching nature, resulting in an incorrect mark with a score of 0 being issued to the slides. 

To get a more accurate representation of the user's score, make sure that this option is checked in your course's Result Slide:

With this option enabled, this is the score that your LMS will receive when a learner gets a perfect score in the quiz: 

Here's a link so you can test how making the adjustment above affects the scoring of your quiz. 

Let me know if you hav any questions!

    Hi Joe,

    Thank you for answering! I enabled "only score viewed questions" and that seems to solve the problem while testing in SCORM cloud.

    However, there are 2 issues I'm still struggling with:

    1. Since Storyline is reporting the score as percentage, all users that answered 10 questions correctly get 100%. However, this doesn't reflect the difference between user who didn't bet at all (max. score 100 points) and user who increased their score with bets (max. score 170 points). Is there a way to send the total score to the LMS? 

    2. Something is off with the score while testing in the LMS. When a user doesn't bet at all (i.e. every question gives 10 points for a correct answer and 0 points for incorrect), the score shows fine in the LMS. For example, this user answered 7 questions correctly, each worth 10 points. They are graded 70 as expected:

    However, betting questions messes up the score. This user answered 7 questions correctly, but placed bets to increase their score. Successful bets let to them earning 100 points over 7 questions:

    However in the LMS it's marked as 77:

    This is weird to me, since I'd expect them to get either 100 (the number of points) or 70 (the success percentage). I can't figure out where the 77 came from.

    Thanks again,

    Nilli
