In Public Beta: Skip-ahead Quizzes
Skip-ahead quizzes is still in development and will receive updates as part of Labs. Functionality will change over time. Some options will be modified and others may be removed based on feedback and feature stability.
Skip-ahead quizzes allow creators to deploy competency-based assessments for learners. Learners who pass these quizzes can jump to the section designated by the training author. It's a great way to speed up training and keep your learners engaged. Here's how they work.
How to Use/Access Skip-ahead Quizzes
After enabling Skip-ahead quizzes from the Labs page in account settings, open a course.
- Create a quiz lesson that's followed by at least one additional lesson or quiz.
- Open Quiz Settings.
- Toggle on Skip Ahead If Passed.
- Use the If Passed, Skip to drop-down menu to select the lesson or quiz learners advance to after successfully passing the quiz.
Note: Any skipped content is marked complete. Enabling Skip Ahead If Passed automatically enables Restrict Navigation.
Known Issues
- This feature will appear disabled in Quiz Settings if there's no other content after the quiz.
- If the Labs experiment is disabled after a skip-ahead quiz is created, the skip behavior may no longer work.
- Rise Course LMS publish settings only allow tracking based on a single quiz. See the FAQ for a recommended approach to pre- and post-quiz design solutions.
Skip-ahead Quizzes FAQ
How can I use this for a pre/post quiz course design?
Rise LMS Exports currently support tracking results from a single quiz. When a skip-ahead quiz is enabled, any skipped content is automatically marked as complete. To create a pre- and post-quiz design, configure the pre-quiz so that learners who pass it skip the post-quiz. Then set tracking to Track using quiz result and specify the post-quiz or Track using course completion.
What do my learners see?
If a learner passes the quiz and skips ahead, the button on the results page displays the name of the lesson they'll skip to. We're actively exploring alternative learner-facing messaging, so please share your ideas via the feedback survey.
Why am I not seeing this in my Quiz Settings?
Ensure the experiment is enabled in Labs and that there is at least one lesson or quiz after the intended skip-ahead quiz. If you still don’t see this feature, please comment below and our team will reach out.
Is this feature accessible?
This feature is currently undergoing testing to ensure it meets WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility requirements.

I love the skip ahead feature! It's great for annual training requirements where the majority of our staff have a good understanding of the content already. Is there a way to build a Rise so that the learner has the option to either do the skip ahead quiz or go through each lesson? From my understanding of it, each learner HAS to do the skip ahead quiz if it is added into the lesson, is that correct? I would love for the learner to have the option.
Hello ErinJones5280,
Thanks for sharing your insight with us! While what you're looking for currently isn't possible with Skip-ahead Quizzes, I've shared your voice with our product team as this would be helpful to your workflow. We'll share future updates so all are in the loop!
Hi, I've set up a pre-quiz and set the attempts to none. If failed, I'd expect someone to have to complete the full content before then attempting the post-quiz at the end. However, upon testing, the user becomes 'stuck' after 1 failed attempt at the pre-quiz. See attached.
Also, if they failed, they can click back onto the page before and select the pre-assessment pathway again - which basically gives them unlimited attempts.Hi OliverDeakin-41,
Thanks for reaching out! It sounds like you have limited retries and Require Passing Score To Continue enabled on your end.
- Could you please confirm your current quiz settings?
- Is this happening with any other projects you're working on or just this one?
Based on your screenshot, I recommend disabling the Require Passing Score To Continue feature within your Scoring Quiz Settings.
If you're still experiencing this or running into something different, we'd be happy to take a closer look at a copy of your course within a support case.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Hi LucianaPiazza Thanks for getting back to me.
You're suggestion of unticking "Require Passing Score to Continue" has resolved the issue of someone who failed the quiz from not being able to complete the full module - thank you.
Thank you for your help.
I also figured out that even though someone could go back and select the pre-quiz option, they cannot take it again as it takes them back to the 'fail' screen.
Hello team! I have also left this feedback on the feedback form, but was unable to provide a screenshot... so here's an additional post 😊
I've noticed that if you have a mid-course quiz that's bypassed, each question on that skipped quiz will be marked "Incorrect." Obviously, this isn't accurate since the learner has bypassed the assessment. I think the feedback here should instead say something to the effect of "Skipped" or "Ungraded." Thoughts? Here's an example of a skipped quiz:Thanks JenLynnRusso! We'll look into this. Really appreciate you letting us know.
Awesome, thank you Kyle!
