Passing score is the minimum percentage or raw score a learner must earn on a quiz or final assessment to pass that assessment. Admins set the passing score per quiz when configuring a course.
If a quiz is marked as required for course completion, learners who score below the passing threshold cannot complete the course until they retake and pass the quiz. This ensures a minimum standard of knowledge before a certificate is issued.
A common passing score is 70 to 80 percent. Setting it too low makes the assessment meaningless. Setting it too high without adequate instructional support leads to high failure rates and learner frustration. Review quiz analytics regularly and adjust the threshold based on actual learner performance data.
Yes. Passing score is configured per quiz, so a knowledge check mid-course can have a lower threshold than the final assessment required for certification.
If retakes are allowed, the learner can attempt the quiz again. If the maximum attempts are exhausted, the learner remains stuck at that lesson until an admin resets their attempts.
