How to create a test with scores and automatic approval

Kwiga platform allows you to create tests that make it easy to assess students' knowledge. This article covers the key steps to creating a test with scores and automatic approval.

How to create a test

Tests in Kwiga are created separately from lessons and are available in the Quizzes section.

To create a new test:

1. Click the +Quiz button.

2. Enter the test name.
   Tip: Add the lesson number or title to the test name for easier course editing in the future.

Set up automatic test review and grading

Kwiga allows you to enable automatic test checks to simplify grading and make the process more convenient for both you and your students. You can configure how the test will be conducted, whether students will see their scores, and what conditions must be met to pass.

Assessment settings

Go to quiz Settings - block Assessment

Enable assessment (points): Yes or without points.

You can assign points using three different methods:

Points for each correct answer 

This method is used when each correct answer is evaluated separately. In this case, there is no need to set a total score for the test so you can leave it at 0. When adding questions to the quiz, you can specify the number of points for each correct answer. For example, the participant receives 1 point if the answer is correct. In multiple-choice questions, points are assigned to each correct answer, allowing for a more precise knowledge assessment.

Points for each question

This method assigns a total score for a fully correct answer to a question rather than individual answers. In the test settings, above the question text, there is a field to enter the points awarded for a completely correct answer. This option is useful when you don’t need to evaluate each answer separately. It is important to clearly define the conditions for awarding points.

Total score for the test

This approach assigns a fixed grade for the entire test based on the percentage of correct answers. For example: If a participant answers 70% of the questions correctly, they receive a specified score (e.g., 10 points). If they score below the set percentage, the test is graded as 0 points.

Important: If you need a point for each question and want the final grade to depend on the number of correct answers, use one of the first two methods (For each correct answer or For each question).

Assessment can be turned on or off depending on your goals. If you enable assessment, students will receive points for correct answers. You can show students their points or keep them hidden.

Quiz approval

Test approval is usually set up automatically, for this:

1. Go to Quiz Settings

2. Activate Quiz Approval: Automatically.

3. Set the condition for successful completion of the test: Specify the minimum number of points or the percentage of correct answers.

The results are approved immediately after reaching the specified conditions, for example, the minimum number of points or the percentage of correct answers. It is convenient and fast.

A delay before automatic approval is also available in the settings to simulate a manual review.

Note: In the offer settings, you can also specify who checks the quiz: automatically or an assistant. This setting has a higher priority and allows you to change the approving method for a separate tariff. Read here for instructions on creating a task with a different verification method for different price plans. 

Important: Changes to test settings are applied immediately after they are made, but old attempts remain with the old settings.

For example, adding points to a test after students have already taken it will not change their previous results. Anyone who took the test before the changes will not receive new points.

Add questions and answers options

In Kwiga, you can create interactive and interesting tests by combining different types of questions in one quiz. This allows you to adapt the test to your goals and make it more effective for learning. The number of questions in the test is not limited, and the types of questions can be different.

Types of questions:

1. Single choice: A question where students select one correct answer.
   Additional function: The ability to allow the student to enter his answer option.

2. Multiple choice: A task with multiple correct answers.

3. Conformity: Matching tasks to pair related elements.

4. Fill gaps: Insert the missing words or values into the text.
   Additional option: You can add extra options for complications.

5. Sorting: Arrange items in the correct order.

6. Make a word out of letters: Form words from provided letters.

7. Make sentences from words: Rearrange words to create correct sentences.

8. Yes/No: Confirm or deny statements.

9. Paste the word: Enter specific words or phrases into an answer field.

10. List: Choose an option from a dropdown list.

11. Multi-list: Select multiple correct options from dropdown lists.

How to create a question:

1. Add the first question by choosing a question type.

2. Configure as needed for it:

   • Required — the student will not be able to complete the test without answering this question.

   • Random questions — automatic change of order of options for each passing of the test.

   • Time limit — response time limit.

   • Scores — the setting is optional, you can specify the number of points that the student will receive for the correct answer to the question.

3. Add the text of the question and answer options via the button +Answer: for each answer. You can give points for correct answers and mark the right ones in green.

All changes are saved automatically. For each new question, you can use the + option in the Quiz Program. Then everything is simple: choose the question type, write the question, and add the answers.

You can change the order of questions by moving them up or down in the quiz program. To delete a question, click the trash icon. By using different question types and settings, you can create tests of any complexity to check students' knowledge effectively.

Add a test to the lesson

When the test is created and all the questions are added, it remains to attach the test to the lesson.
To add a quiz to a lesson:

1. Go to the lesson and add a quiz.

2. Click + near Add a quiz.

3. Select a test from the list and click Save.

Details about how to do it - in a separate article. 

How students will see the test

After adding an assignment, students can see it in the lesson content. Use the preview feature to make sure everything looks right. Open the lesson Builder, go to the preview mode, and check how the task looks from the student's point of view. 

The test will be checked automatically, the student will see the result immediately after completion.

Where you can see the test completed by the student

Once a student completes an assignment, it will appear on the Practice tab. In this section, you’ll find a list of all assignments related to the course.

Select the desired test, open the student's answers, and review them in detail. The status — Passed or Failed — will be displayed right away.

The assistant can manually change the status of the assignment to Passed, Failed, or Needs Revision and leave comments on the answers. If the test includes scoring, the team member can also adjust the number of points awarded manually.
