In the "Test settings" tab, the settings and description of the test are entered, while in the "Test questions" tab, the actual questions and answers of the test are entered.

If all questions are displayed, you can set weighting factors.

- four options:
- do not show answers - test results will be available only to the application moderators.
- show questions with a rating - the employee taking the test will see whether the answer was correct or incorrect based on the test results. However, he/she will not see the correct results (details).
- show questions, answers, rating - the employee taking the test will see whether the answer was correct or incorrect based on the test results. He/she will also see which answers contain errors and which answers were correct.
- show incorrect answer immediately - the employee, when taking the test, will immediately see whether he/she answered correctly or incorrectly (the result will be highlighted). However, he/she will not see the correct results.
By default, the first option "do not show responses" works.
- The "Prevent going back and changing answer" checkbox, if checked, will prevent the test taker from going back to change their answer.
- Passing score. In percent - the percentage of correct answers to pass the test. That is, this is actually the passing score. The percentage is calculated taking into account the weighting factors, if they were asked in the questions.
For example, the passing score is 65%.
There were 5 questions with the following weights: 1 - 10%, 2 - 10%, 3 - 20%, 4 - 20%, 5 - 40%. The user answered the first four answers correctly, and answered the last one incorrectly. The points scored: (1*10 + 1 *10 + 1*20 + 1*20 + 0*40) = 60%. Accordingly, the test is not passed.
For example, the user answered questions 1, 4, and 5 correctly, then the points scored are calculated as follows: (10 + 20 + 40) = 70%. Accordingly, the test is passed.
- when activated, employees will not see the test in the test catalog. However, moderators will see the test and will be able to assign it. Employees to whom it is assigned will be able to see it in their Personal Account in the My tests section. Not active by default.
- when activated, an element appears to select the departments for which the test will be available.
