Questions

Exam mode

This mode determines whether a course is an Exam. Enabling the Exam mode is a strict mode that implies specific rules for playing courses and reporting:

a. Minimum pass score: The minimum pass score is the minimum required score to pass an exam. Scores are calculated based on the correct-answers rate.
For example, if the exam includes four questions, and the Minimum pass score is set at 50%, the attendee has to answer a minimum of two correct answers to pass the exam.

This option is only available when exam mode is selected.

b. Maximum exam attempts: it is the number of attempts an attendee has per exam. Attendees are able to reset their sessions once an exam is finished if they still have remaining attempts.
An attempt is counted each time an attendee finishes an exam. If for example this option is set to 3, and the attendee finishes the exam, it will be possible to retake the exam when relaunching the course. Thus two remaining attempts are left.

Hide questions results

Question results will not be displayed to the attendees once they submit their answers.

This option might be useful for the Exam mode.

Hide overall questions results

Hide the overall score and question results to the attendees at the end of the course session.

Hide expected options for wrong answers

Correct option(s) will not be displayed to the attendees if the result is wrong.
