Scoring and passing criteria help in evaluating learners' performance and controlling quiz reattempts. FreshLearn allows you to set scores for each correct answer, apply negative marking, define passing percentages, and add extra quiz security features.

Here is a detailed step-by-step video.

  1. Go to Products > Assessments in your FreshLearn dashboard.
  2. Select the assessment you want to configure.

Score Settings

1.Correct Score Answer: Define the score a learner should earn for every correct response.Example: If each question should give 2 points, enter “2.”

2.Negative Score for Wrong Answer (Optional): If you want to deduct marks for incorrect answers, enter a negative value. Example: For every wrong answer 1 point will be deducted, enter”1”.

Pass Percentage & Attempts

1.Pass Percentage: Set the minimum percentage required to pass the assessment. Example: Enter “60” if learners must get 60% to pass.

2.Number of Attempts:Define how many times a learner can attempt the assessment.Example: Set it to “1” for a single attempt, or more as needed.
