FAQ: Understanding Tests vs. Checklists in Training

  1. What is the main purpose of a test in Isolocity's training module?
     A test is used to evaluate and validate whether an employee understands the content provided in training.

  2. What types of questions can be included in a test?
     Tests can include multiple choice, true or false, and short answer (text) questions.

  3. Where do you go to create a test in Isolocity?
     Navigate to Training Manager in the left sidebar, then click Training Programs, and then select Create Training Program and Test.

  4. What happens to the “Employee Groups” field in the example?
     It was left blank. The hands-on training video provides more details about this field.

  6. Can you reuse an existing test when creating a training program?
     Yes, you can either select an existing test or click “Create New” to build a new one.

  7. What does the test status setting control?
     It controls whether the test is active (available for employees) or inactive (not in use).

  8. What does setting a minimum pass score do?
     It ensures employees must achieve at least that percentage (e.g., 80%) to pass.

  9. Can you limit the number of attempts an employee has to pass a test?
     Yes, you can set a maximum number of attempts (e.g., 3 tries).

  10. What is random question sampling in a test?
     It presents a unique set of questions to each test taker by randomly selecting them from a larger pool.

  11. Why is random sampling used in training assessments?
     To ensure a fair and diverse evaluation and reduce the likelihood of test content being shared.

  12. What determines how many questions a user receives with random sampling?
     The sample size you enter when the feature is enabled.

  13. How do you create a multiple choice question?
     Enter a question, provide several options, select the correct answer, and assign a point value.

  14. What is important to remember about text answer questions?
     They are character-sensitive and require an exact match, such as “QA” vs. “Quality Assurance.”

  15. Why might you prefer multiple choice over a text answer?
     To ensure scoring accuracy when answers could vary in wording.

  16. What does a checklist in training represent?
