Tests
Introduction
1. Tests in the application can be independent or built-in In Course, training program, group (for Bitrix 24):
- Self-study - are displayed in the test catalog, in the personal account - in the My Tests section.
- Built-in:
- Built-in Course, it is displayed in the course catalog and in the My Courses section within the course.
- Built-in program, it is displayed in the program catalog and in the My Programs section within the program.
- For Bitrix24. If Test is added to Bitrix group, then it will be displayed to the user in the My Groups tab, within the group. In the catalog Test, it will be available only to the members of this group.
2. VisibilityTests can have different visibility settings (set during creation):
- Hide in the catalog. Test will be hidden in the catalog, but if assigned, it will be available in the My Tests section.
- For units only. Test will be available to employees of the selected units.
- Hide from extranet. For Bitrix 24. Test will be hidden from the extranet users of the Bitrix 24 portal.
Availability Period. When this setting is activated, Test will be available in the catalog during the selected period.
3. Methods of addingTest can be added via the interface or by uploading an Excel file. The template for uploading can be downloaded by clicking on the Import - Download sample xlsx file for import element.
Test Creation: Settings
1. To add a Test, open Catalog tests. Click the plus "Add". The "Add" element is available only to LMS moderators.
2. In test settings mandatory there are three fields (besides the necessity of the questions themselves):
- Test name (do not include special characters in the names, such as a snowboarder emoji).
- Time on Test.
- Pass-through Score.
3. Field "Competence" and the function "Generate IDP when the passing score is not achieved".
You can add competencies to the test with or without activating the element "Generate IDP if the passing score is not achieved".
Without activation. In this case, the competencies will serve as information and will not carry any additional functionality.
Upon activation. Activation will only be possible if developmental activities are assigned to the competency in the Settings - Competency Management section. If developmental activities are assigned and the user has not achieved the passing Score, the system will automatically generate a IDP, which will already include the developmental activities.
4. Allow comments. When activated, all users will be able to write comments on the test card.
5. Issue Certificate. Upon activation, it is necessary to select Certificate. Certificate is created in the Settings - Application Settings - Certificates section. Upon successful completion of the test, the system will generate Certificate, which will be available to the test taker in the My Certificates section.
6. Feedback Form. The questionnaire is created in the Settings - Application Settings - Feedback Form section. When taking the test, the system will open the questionnaire for the test taker to fill out. The results of the completed questionnaires can be viewed in the Settings Reports - Feedback Questionnaire Report section.
7. Points. How many points to award for passing the test. This is not a pass/fail Score, but part of the gamification system.
8. Passing score. It is calculated in percentages, taking into account the weights of the questions, if they are provided.
9. Test results. Four options are available for selection:
- Do not show answers. Test results will be available only to the application moderators.
- To display questions with a score. The employee taking the test will see Correct or Incorrect given Answer. At the same time, they will not see the correct results (details).
- display questions, answers, score. The employee undergoing testing will see Correct or Incorrect given Answer based on the test results. They will also see which answers contain errors and which answers are correct.
- show Incorrect Answer immediately. The employee, when taking the test, will immediately see whether they answered correctly or incorrectly (the result will be highlighted). However, they will not see the correct results.
By Default the first option "do not show answers" is active.
In the second and third options, the employee can view the test results in their personal account under the My Tests section by clicking on the corresponding Test. The "Test Results" element will be available in the test.
Test creation:
Answer:
1. The introduction of questions and their answers takes place in the Test Questions tab.
2. The following types of questions are available in the application:
- Choice - Choice one or more correct answers.
- Sequence - restoration of the correct sequence.
- Matching - restoration of correct correspondence.
- Open - Open question type. In it, you need to select a verifier who will check the answers and record the results.
- SubstitutionIt is necessary to fill in the blanks.
If you need to create a question with one correct answer and inform the user about it, then after the main text of the question, add the text: Choose one Correct Answer.
If it is necessary to create a question with answer options: Yes, No. When creating the answers, create the corresponding options: Yes, No.
3. When creating a question type Choice and if the "Show Answer immediately" option is selected in the test results, you can fill in the feedback that the system will provide for correct or incorrect answers:
4. Enter the question and its answers sequentially.
5. Weight of the question.
By Default all questions have the same weight equal to one. At the same time, the weights are recalculated taking into account the number of entered questions. That is, if there is one question in the test, its weight will be 1 or 100%. If there are two questions in the test, the weight of each will be: 0.5 or 1 / 2 * 100 = 50%. If there are 8 questions in the test, the weight of each will be:
- The sum of the weights of all questions = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 8
- The weight of one question will be: 1 / 8 * 100 = 12.5%
Weight of a specific question / Total sum of weights * 100
The application allows you to assign an arbitrary weight to any question. To do this, enter an integer in the designated field, and the system will convert the weights of all questions into percentages using the formula above.
Example. Test of 8 questions. Let's set the weight for the last question to 7, for the first to 3, and leave the rest blank. Let's calculate the weights of the questions.
The sum of the weights of all questions = 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 7 = 16
The weight of the first question will be:
3 / 16 * 100 = 18.75%
The weight of the last question will be:
7 / 16 * 100 = 43.75%
The weight of each of the remaining questions will be:
1 / 16 * 100 = 6.25%
Checking (should result in 100%): 18.75 + 6.25 + 6.25 + 6.25 + 6.25 + 6.25 + 6.25 + 43.75 = 100%
The pass score Score is calculated taking into account the weighting coefficients of all questions.
In the example above, if we set the pass-through Score to 42%, let's consider different scenarios:
- The first seven questions are correct, the last one is incorrect, so 56.25% will be scored, Test Passed.
- The last one is correct, all others are incorrect, scored 43.75%, Test Passed.
Please note that percentages are rounded on the screen, but not in calculations and formulas.

Creating a Test:
Answer:
1. Questions and their answers are entered in the test questions tab.
2. В The following question types are available in the application:
- Choice – selecting one or more correct answers..
- Sequence – restoring the correct sequence.
- Matching – restoring the correct matching.
- Open – an open-ended question. Here, a Checker must be selected to verify the answers and record the results.
- Substitution. Fill in the blanks.
If you need to create a question with one correct answer and inform the user, add the text after the main question: "Choose one correct answer."
If you need to create a question with answer options: Yes, No. When creating answers, add the corresponding options: Yes, No.
3. When creating a Choice-type question and if "Show answer immediately" is selected in the testing results, you can fill in the feedback that the system will provide for correct or incorrect answers:
4. Enter the question and its answers sequentially.
5. Question Weight.
By default, all questions have the same weight of one. The weights are recalculated based on the number of questions entered. For example, if a Test has one question, its weight will be 1 or 100%. If a Test has two questions, each weight will be: 0.5 or 1 / 2 * 100 = 50%. If a Test has 8 questions, each weight will be:
- Sum of weights of all questions = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 8
- Weight of one question: 1 / 8 * 100 = 12,5%
Weight of a specific question / Total sum of weights * 100
The application allows setting an arbitrary weight for any question. Enter an integer in the special field, and the system will convert all question weights into percentages using the formula above.
Example. A Test with 8 questions. Set a weight of 7 for the last question, 3 for the first, and leave the rest unchanged. Calculate the question weights.
Sum of weights of all questions= 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1+ 1 +7 = 16
Weight of the first question:
3 / 16 *100 = 18,75%
Weight of the last question:
7 / 16 * 100 = 43,75%
Weight of each of the remaining questions:
1 / 16 * 100 = 6,25%
Verification (should total 100%): 18,75 + 6,25 + 6,25 + 6,25 + 6,25 + 6,25 + 6,25 + 43,75 = 100%
The Passing score is calculated considering the weighting factors of all questions.
In the example above, if we set a Passing Score of 42%, consider different scenarios:
- First seven questions – correct, last – incorrect: 56.25% achieved, test passed.
- Last correct, all others incorrect: 43.75% achieved, test passed.
Note that percentages are rounded on the screen but not in calculations and formulas.
Creating a Test: blocks
1. Using the "Blocks" functionality, you can create thematic blocks, then activate or deactivate them depending on the testing tasks.
For example, a database of 100 questions is created, consisting of 10 thematic blocks with 10 questions each. Then, some blocks are activated while others are deactivated. The application will present the test-taker with questions only from the active blocks.
2. This functionality is convenient in situations where it is necessary to create a large question database and then, depending on the tasks, conduct testing not on the entire list of topics, but on specific ones.
3. The general workflow for working with blocks is as follows:
- Thematic blocks are activated. A tab for creating thematic blocks appears.
- Thematic blocks are created in the "Blocks" tab. Only the name of the new block needs to be specified.
- When creating questions, each question is linked to a specific thematic block.
- Next, when assigning the test, the required blocks are activated, and the unnecessary ones are deactivated.
- The system will present the test taker with questions only from active blocks.
