Pre-Test/Post-Test Split: Adapt the flow based on pre-test results

Adapt the course flow to each learner’s needs — skipping what they already know and focusing where it counts.

What It Is

Pre-Test/Post-Test Split is a smart logic feature that uses learners’ initial test results to personalize their learning path. A strong pre-test score can fast-track learners past foundational content, while lower scores automatically route them through relevant learning materials. At the end, a post-test measures true improvement.

Unlike standard course flows, this feature dynamically adjusts the journey — respecting prior knowledge and targeting gaps from the start.

When to Use It

  • In refresher training, to avoid repeating known content for experienced staff
  • For compliance renewals, where learners may only need updates on new regulations
  • In onboarding, to personalize the experience based on existing skills or certifications
  • In product training, where some roles require only advanced content
  • For modular courses, where pre-test scores determine which topics must be completed

Why It Works

  • Saves time by skipping unnecessary sections for high scorers
  • Increases engagement by focusing only on what learners actually need
  • Improves retention through targeted, need-based repetition
  • Boosts ROI by shortening course duration without sacrificing quality
  • Provides measurable growth by comparing pre- and post-test data

Impact Insight
Imagine onboarding taking half the time — because your top performers only see what’s new, and your beginners get the support they need. Now multiply that efficiency across your organization.

Examples in Action

  • Healthcare: Nurses take a pre-test on infection protocols; those scoring 90%+ skip to advanced cases
  • Finance: Advisors take a regulatory knowledge check; results determine if they need refresher content
  • Retail: New hires take a customer service quiz; their path adapts to focus on weak areas
  • Education: Teachers take a curriculum pre-test that unlocks only unfamiliar module topics
  • Manufacturing: Operators test their machinery knowledge before training — skipping known modules

Customization Options

  • Split Logic: Score thresholds define paths (e.g., above 85% skips, below 85% continues)
  • Feedback Screens: Personalized results with visuals, next steps, and learning maps
  • Post-Test Design: Retest full module or only the skipped sections
  • Data Tracking: SCORM and xAPI reporting for before/after analysis
  • Visual Flow: Progress indicators show split path clearly to learners
With Pre-Test/Post-Test Split, you respect what learners know — and focus on what they don’t. The result? More efficient training, better engagement, and higher knowledge retention without wasting a minute.
