Issue with two tests in one course
May 20, 2009 12:00 AM
What if the issue is that you have a 5 test course and want to have variations of two of them based on job category (variable identifies)--i.e., course has 7 tests but you only want to count 5? Course is a single AU. In the past I have elected not to include any tests in the overall score then included a series of actions on the last page to add completed test scores, divide by total number of scores to keep, then modify the AICC_Score. Because of course length and the desire from the LMS admin to have scores reported as learner progresses, I don't want to use that technique in this course. I could change structure to multiple AUs, but am trying to come up with an approach that keeps course as one. Any ideas?

The issue you are experiencing here is that when publishing to SCORM, only one true score for the LMS is recorded. That SCORM variable is called cmi.core.score.raw. That is a percentage of all the test scores in the SCO. So in your case, you are getting 100 on test 1 and when you exit, it simply divides that score by 2, hence the 50. If you are not concerned with test and question interaction data and only need the score, then you could simply set the score yourself with an action to modify the AICC_Score variable. The way I would do it is in the test properties of one test only, select the option under the results tab to include in overall score. Then, on a page after the test which this option was not selected for, place an on show action to modify the AICC_Score variable to the value VAR(test score variable name for test not included in overall score), i.e. VAR(Test_2_Score). This will set the cmi.core.score.raw value to the score of the second test in the title and pass that value to the LMS. Being that there is only one test set to be included in the overall score, no division will be done on behalf of the course. There are several ways to get around it but this is a very simple way to do without modifying your course too much. Hope this helps.
