How to Make Passing a Quiz Mandatory to Access Next Course Content

Quizzes are an amazing study tool but when it comes to eLearning, there is one particular flaw in the system that can baffle Instructors. Yes, we’re talking about online classes where the students have the ability to move on to the next course content even after failing a quiz that precedes it.

Luckily, Tutor LMS Pro users can ensure this is not possible and make it mandatory for students to pass a quiz in order to access the next course contents.

At first, you have to selce the Strict Mode as the “Course Completion Process“.

Then, you have to enable the Content Drip addon. You can find this addon by navigating to Tutor LMS Pro > Addons.

After enabling the addon, follow the steps below:

1. On the Course Builder page, under Basics tab, set ‘Content Drip’ type to Course content available sequentially.
2. At this point, update the course to ensure this change is applied.
3. Next, from Quiz Builder > Settings set the Quiz Feedback Mode as Retry Mode.
4. Finally, you should see the Passing is Required toggle appear below the Attempts Allowed slider. All you have to do now is enable this option, click on Save, and Update your course to save the changes.

And voila, it’s now mandatory for your students to pass this quiz in order to access the course material that follows!

If they fail a quiz that requires passing and attempt to access the next lesson, they’ll now get a message like this:

Note: Do keep in mind that if a quiz contains any open-ended questions which require the instructor’s review, the next course content will only be available after the instructor does so.
