Medals add an extra layer of motivation to your Quiz modules, making learning more engaging and rewarding 🎯. Let’s break down how they are calculated!
There are two scenarios to consider:
Custom passing score: The passing score for a module has been filled out and set.
Default passing score: The passing score for a module has not been filled out.
When a user completes a module, the below calculation is run. The user must have a score equal to or above to get the corresponding medal🏅:
Passing score = Custom or 0%
Gold = (100 - Passing score) * 0.85 + Passing score
Silver = (100 - Passing score) * 0.5 + Passing score
Bronze = Passing score
Example with custom passing score:
In this example, the customer has set the module passing score to 80%.
Looking at the calculations, we see that a user needs at least 97% correct answers to earn a gold medal, while a silver medal is awarded for a minimum of 90% correct answers.
Passing score = 80
Gold: (100 - 80) * 0.85 + 80 = 97%
Silver: (100 - 80) * 0.5 + 80 = 90%
Bronze: 80%
Example with default passing score:
In this example, the customer has not manually set the module passing score, so it will be set to 0% by default.
Looking at the calculations again, we see that a user must achieve 92.5% correct answers for a gold medal, while a silver medal is awarded for a minimum of 75% correct answers.
Passing score = 0
Gold: (100 - 50) * 0.85 + 50 = 92.5%
Silver: (100 - 50) * 0.5 + 50 = 75%
Bronze: 0%
Special case💡
There is an exemption to the above rules when the passing score is set to 99% or higher. In this case, the user will either receive a gold medal or fail the module.
If a user scores 99% or higher, they will receive a gold medal.
If the score is 98% or lower, they will fail the module and will need to retake it.
