Give a name to the form. Complete the following fields:
 
 
  • Speaker Ask Once : No
  • Passing Weight: Determine the 'Passing Weight'. e.g., If the test has 5 questions and each question is worth 1 point, you will need a 'Passing Weight' of  5 to get 100% correct. 
  • Required = Yes
  • Max Submissions/Test Attempts: Enter the number of attempts allowed to meet the 'Passing Weight'. i.e., how many times can a user fail the test before they are no longer allowed to proceed?
  • View Answer Attempts: Used to show the correct answer(View Results link) . Users who failed all the test attempts or passed  can click on the 'View Results' link to see the correct answers being displayed.
 
Note: If the 'View Answer Attempts' is less than the 'Submission Attempts' , a person who has pending test attempts does not see the correct answers until they reach the max submission attempts, but can still see the answer explanation, if  available. This serves as a hint for learners to choose the correct answer in their subsequent attempts. If you do not want this, always have the same value set for both the fields.
 
 
Enter any other required fields and/or content and click 'Save' at the bottom of the screen to build your new form.

Click the 'Add Answer' link next to the appropriate question
 
Enter the required fields and enter the appropriate 'Weight' for the correct answer. e.g., if the question is worth 1 point, enter a 'Weight' of 1 for the correct answer.

Click 'Save' to add the answer and repeat the steps to add as many answers as needed. 
 
 
Viewing Answer Key:
 
To the test taker the View Results functionality shows the correct and incorrect answers for each question based on the answer weights.
  • If the weight is negative, we don't know if it is right or wrong, so we show a question mark.
  • If the weight is 0, we show an X.
  • If the weight is more than 0 we show a check mark.
