You now have even more flexibility in assessing learners\u2019 knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, we\u2019ll break down all the new capabilities in detail, so you could make the most of them in your eLearning projects.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"What\u2019s-New-in-iSpring-Suite\u2019s-Quiz-Scoring\">What\u2019s New in iSpring Suite\u2019s Quiz Scoring<\/h2>\n<p>Imagine you have a course in your catalog that\u2019s purely for reference \u2014 no mandatory tests, no strict completion criteria. Previously, if a learner opened the course but didn\u2019t finish it, it remained marked as \u201cincomplete,\u201d affecting your stats. Now, you can adjust the settings so that someone is considered complete as long as they access the course, even if they don\u2019t go through every slide or take a quiz.<\/p>\n<p>You can also require learners to view specific slides before a course is marked as complete, making sure key content isn\u2019t skipped.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, if your course includes multiple quizzes \u2014 some for practice, some for final assessment \u2014 you can now decide which ones count toward the final score and which don\u2019t affect the grade.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, we\u2019ve also added branch-based evaluation, which is a game-changer! Now, you can group slides and quizzes into different learning paths within a single module. If your course is available in multiple languages, learners can pick their preferred language right away, go through the right version of the course, and have their progress tracked separately.<\/p>\n<p>The same applies if your course covers multiple product brands \u2014 each section can have its own quizzes and completion rules.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image_wrapper image_wrapper_caption_margin\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/editor\/2025\/04\/course-branches-1744197513.png\" alt=\"Branch-based evaluation in iSpring Suite\" width=\"792\" height=\"556\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption_wrapper\">\n<p class=\"caption\" style=\"text-align: center\">Design learning materials for every team and evaluate them within specific course branches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Let\u2019s go over the changes once again to make everything crystal clear:<\/p>\n<div class=\"table_wrapper\">\n<table class=\"bordered_table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Before<\/th>\n<th>Now<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>All slides were graded.<\/td>\n<td>You can now mark slides as ungraded.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Learners could complete a course without going through all required materials, as they could reach the passing score by accumulating points from other content.<\/td>\n<td>A course is only marked as completed when all required materials have been viewed and all required quizzes or tests have been passed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>A course was considered completed when the learner reached the overall passing score (%).<\/td>\n<td>Since slides are no longer graded, the passing score now applies only to quizzes and graded simulations.

Now, you can give them a choice: take a test right away to complete the course or go through the materials first and take the final test later. Those who are already familiar with the subject can skip unnecessary slides and get certified faster.<\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/15.0.3\/svg\/1f3af.svg\" alt=\"\ud83c\udfaf\" \/> More accurate knowledge checks<\/h3>\n<p>To prevent situations where learners can fail one test but still pass overall, you can now require them to meet the passing score on every critical assessment. This will ensure they truly understand each section before moving forward.<\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/15.0.3\/svg\/1f3af.svg\" alt=\"\ud83c\udfaf\" \/> Smarter evaluation for adaptive courses<\/h3>\n<p>With branching scenarios, you no longer need to create complex structures, hide slides, or create two different courses. Learners will only see the content that applies to them. This is especially useful for multilingual courses and training programs where users choose between different products.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image_wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/editor\/2025\/04\/branching-scenarios-1744198241.png\" alt=\"Smarter evaluation for adaptive courses\" width=\"792\" height=\"651\" \/><\/div>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/15.0.3\/svg\/1f3af.svg\" alt=\"\ud83c\udfaf\" \/> Detailed statistics for each course module<\/h3>\n<p>When a course covers multiple modules on different topics, you can now track learner progress for each module separately. For example, if you\u2019re training employees on marketing channels, you\u2019ll see exactly how well they understand email marketing, social media, and PPC campaigns. This also applies to multilingual courses, helping you analyze performance by language.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Try-The-New-Quiz-Scoring-Rules-for-Yourself\">Try The New Quiz Scoring Rules for Yourself<\/h2>\n<p>All these updates are already available in your iSpring Suite subscription \u2014 go check them out!<\/p>\n<p>New to iSpring Suite? <a href=\"\/ispring-suite\/trial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sign up for a free 14-day trial<\/a> and see how quickly you can create meaningful online assessments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you use quizzes in iSpring Suite, you\u2019ll love our latest update \u2014 course completion and grading settings just got&hellip; <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispringsolutions.com\/blog\/flexible-quiz-scoring-in-ispring-suite\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":112,"featured_media":69917,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_titles_title":"Flexible Quiz Scoring in iSpring Suite [February 2025 Update]","_seopress_titles_desc":"Explore new flexible course completion and grading settings in iSpring Suite to better assess learners and elevate your eLearning.","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[200],"tags":[136],"class_list":["post-69913","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-updates","tag-ispring-suite"],"acf":[],"views":471,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ispringsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69913","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ispringsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ispringsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ispringsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/112"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ispringsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69913"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.ispringsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69913\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":96533,"href":"https:\/\/www.ispringsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69913\/revisions\/96533"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ispringsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69917"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ispringsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69913"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ispringsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69913"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ispringsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69913"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
