Your course may require you to earn a minimum score on the course test as a completion requirement.
How the Course Score is Calculated
The course score is calculated by averaging all the lesson test scores. Unattempted lessons are scored as 0%. If you retake lesson tests, the highest score received is used. The formula used to calculate the course score in this scenario is as follows:
(L1 score + L2 score + L3 score) / # lessons = Course Score
Example: If a learner scored the following lesson scores in a course:
L1 = 100%, L2 = 90%, L3 = 75%
Then the course score is calculated using the formula:
(100 + 90 + 75) / 3 = 88%
How the Lesson Score is Calculated
Lessons are composed of topics, and topics are composed of objectives. Lesson scores are calculated by averaging all of the objective scores within a particular lesson, using the following formula:
([T1 score * # of objectives] + [T2 score * # of objectives] +[T3 score * # of objectives] + [T4 score * # of objectives]) / total # of objectives in the lesson = lesson score
Example: A lesson has five topics, and each topic contains a single objective. The user scores 75, 80, 25, 90, and 100. The lesson score is:
(75 * 1) + (80 * 1) + (25 * 1 ) + (90 * 1 ) + (100 * 1) / 5 = 74%
If your course has a minimum course score, for example 80%, then this equates to the average of all lesson tests. While there is no minimum threshold score for each lesson test, there is a minimum score for the average of all lesson tests (80%).
