Using the Scaled Passing Score Element

The following is an example of how to use the Scaled Passing Score Data Model Element:

The content requires learners to take an assessment consisting of 10 questions based on the content they reviewed. The value for each correct answer is 1. The value for each incorrect answer is 0. This example has a Scaled Passing Score of 0.7, meaning that 7 out of 10 questions must be answered correctly to achieve mastery.

If a learner correctly answered only 4 questions, then the learner’s score would result in 0.4, thus not reaching the Scaled Passing Score of 0.7 and achieving mastery of the assessment.

This is only an example of how Scaled Passing Score results could be tracked by a learning management system (LMS).
