Using a Pre-Test to Guide Learning
Mar 11, 2021
A pre-test can set the stage for your online training and give learners a preview of what's to come in the course. You may also want to use a pre-test to allow learners to bypass course content based on their score.
In this example, Trina created a next-steps lesson to give learners three options for how to proceed after completing the pre-test. She hid the sidebar menu and used a button stack block to design this eye-catching branching interaction.

Why and How I Created This Pre-Test in Rise 360
Now we'd love to hear from you! Tell us how you've used pre-tests in your Rise 360 courses, and share some tips for other designers who may want to try this in their next e-learning project!

Would love to seee this feature also - I am currently trying to build a quiz where the user has to reset and take it again if they score lower than 80%, and this would be ideal!
Will this feature be offered in Rise 360?

Did anyone come up with a template/solution for this? I would like to have the option that Hanna mentioned. I think having that on some compliance courses would help learners engage knowing that if they can answer some of the questions they don't need to complete all the course.
We also have a use case for the ability to test out. In it's simplest form, it would be great to provide a quiz that, if failed, launches the user into a full training and, if passed, marks that user as complete. To dig deeper (maybe as a second or third iteration of this feature) it would be great to be able to point users to certain course materials based on their initial quiz performance. For example, if I miss questions 1-5 related to topic A, I will be assigned training on topic A, and if I miss questions 6-10 on topic B, I will be assigned subsequent training on topic B.
