How to Add a Passing Grade Requirement
How it Works
Setting a passing grade percentage within quizzes will require your students to answer a certain number of questions correctly before the quiz lesson is marked as complete.
Students will still be able to navigate to the next lesson or chapter, but they will need to receive a passing grade within these quizzes before they can reach 100% course completion. If you want your students to receive a passing grade before moving on to the next course chapter, you can also set the quiz as a prerequisite lesson.
Important Considerations
- When this is enabled, students will not be able to reach 100% completion of your course unless they have successfully passed all quizzes where a passing grade is required.
- In order to prevent students from receiving the correct answers and redoing the test, the explanation feature is deactivated when a passing grade is required. You can reenable the function under Lesson Settings.
- If a passing grade is added to a quiz after it has already been completed by some students, their completion % will not change, though this will also update their pass/fail status on the quiz. To ensure that students who have failed the quiz as a result of this are issued a certificate, they will just need to retake the quiz and pass with the new minimum passing grade.
