When you are taking a subject, you may see a pre-assessment (taken before the subject), a post-assessment (taken after the subject), and/or an assessment within the outline itself.

 

A pre-assessment enables you to record baseline knowledge prior to taking the subject and then compare it with post-subject knowledge to determine the level of knowledge gained. A pre-assessment also enables you to take advantage of the personalized content feature, if it is available. When the personalized content feature is enabled, assessment results are used to create a personalized subject, which is a customized version of the full subject. You can create personalized content by excluding sections from the subject for which you demonstrated competency via the assessment. You may also be able to test out of a subject. A manager can set options that allow you to skip a subject and post-assessment if you meet or exceed a particular score on the pre-assessment. 


A post-assessment gauges your understanding of the material after you take the subject, and provides a review of the material. A certain score may be required on the post-assessment for you to move on to the next activity, if one is available. In addition, personalized content is updated to reflect the results of a post-assessment. You can continue to use the new personalized content to focus only on the information with which you had difficulty.

 

An assessment in the outline can function as a review of the material in the section. You can retake an assessment and a post-assessment in the outline, even after moving on to other activities. Pre-assessments, however, can be taken only once.
