Quiz properties depend on the goal: for instance, is the goal to train up skills and encourage, or ruthlessly assess knowledge?
When creating a quiz, a training professional usually faces a problem — what minimum passing score to set. There’s no universal recipe. Again, keep the main goal in mind and use it as your guide.
For example, let’s say you’re building a reinforcement quiz for salespeople on time management skills. The goal is to consolidate the training material and help employees remember what they may have forgotten. Here, the passing score can be about 70-80%.
If you’re providing certification for medical professionals, let’s say, on the anatomy of the nervous system, then you can set a full 100 percentage points as a passing grade. In this case, the scoring is more stringent, given the importance of human life and/or medical treatment.
