Example of Description

In this example, an assessment consists of five questions that map to two objectives:

To master Objective 1 the learner must correctly answer questions 1 and 2 and to master Objective 2 the learner must answer questions 3-5 correctly. Upon completion of the assessment the learner is able to view their results. The description results could display as:

You did not master Objective 1: Answer general questions that an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) holder asks about Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).

You did master Objective 2: Answer questions that an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) holder asks about how to request a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).

The table below identifies the correct answers required to master the objectives and how you performed on each question.
