Threshold Scoring

Assessment Rubric’s 'pass-fail' type can optionally be used to create a threshold type scoring system.

For example, an assessment can require a score of 75% or higher to pass. When the passingAttemptScore is reached, the student’s score will be adjusted to the passedResult value.

In this example, when the student scores below 75%, the score will be adjusted to 0. When the student’s score is 75% or higher, the score will be adjusted to 100%.

This feature can be combined with Score Action Pages to display specialized messages to the student.
