Understand the two quiz systems in WeMakeSuccess and when to use each, plus how passing scores and attempts work.
WeMakeSuccess has two related but distinct quiz systems. Knowing which one you're using matters because they're built and reused differently.
| Lesson Quizzes | Course Quizzes | |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Attached directly to one specific lesson | Built once, reusable, attached at a placement point |
| Placement | Always tied to its lesson | After a specific lesson, after a module, or after the whole course |
| Best for | Quick knowledge checks within a lesson | Formal assessments, especially ones reused across multiple courses |
If a quiz is required at a placement point (for example, after Module 2), a student must meet the passing score to have that section count as complete — which in turn affects certificate eligibility if the course requires 100% completion. A quiz with no required passing score simply records the attempt without blocking progress.
Use Course Quizzes for anything you'll reuse. If the same assessment logic (say, a "module 1 knowledge check") might apply across more than one course, build it as a reusable Course Quiz rather than duplicating a Lesson Quiz in each place.
Yes, unless you've set a maximum attempt limit — once that cap is reached, further attempts are blocked and you'd need to manually reset their attempt count if you want to allow another try.
Yes — attempt history, scores, and pass/fail status are visible per student from the course's assessment reporting.
