Scoring
|
The method used for grading the test results. The values are:
- No Score. Displays a test and calculates results, but does not compute a score or grade for the end user. Typically used for surveys or evaluations.
- Standard. Displays number of points earned and pass-fail status. Allows test taker to click test name for details on correct answers to test questions.
- Category. Grades tests using two methods—Standard and Category. With category scoring, each question is assigned a particular category, for example Product, Industry, and so on. Then results are calculated and reported to the user by category type. Users, managers, and administrators use this functionality to assess scoring trends and identify particular areas of user strengths and weaknesses.
- Knowledge Check. Same as Standard scoring.
