Training Quizzes

Best practices for quiz creation

Tip

• Set the passing score at 70-80% for standard procedural training.
• Use multiple choice questions for objective assessment of document content.
• Include explanations on every question to provide learning opportunities even when trainees answer correctly.
• Mix difficulty levels (easy, medium, hard) to create a balanced assessment.
• Keep quizzes focused — 5 to 10 questions is typically sufficient for a single document.
• Use the points system to weight critical questions more heavily than general knowledge questions.
