Opus Pro Tracks Scores for You

A comprehensive range of scoring variables are now tracked automatically by Opus Pro. In addition to the user's score as a value, a percentage and the number of correct or incorrect answers, you can access the total number of questions, the score for the current question and much more. Most sophisticated of all Opus will calculate the total possible score the learner could achieve if they get all the remaining questions correct. This can be used to stop the test the moment the learner falls below the required standard, saving time for both student and trainer alike.

Critical Questions for Competency Assurance

Individual questions, tests or topics can be marked as critical so that they MUST be passed whatever the score the learner has achieved elsewhere. Your elearning material can assure comptence and test both crucial and additional knowledge in one test.

Long Answer Checking

Our sophisticated search and scoring system for text input and long answers means you can check any answer for both individual keywords and key phrases. Having full control means you can also legislate for common typos or spelling errors and all answers can be weighted as required.

Scoring and Testing Simulations

The new scoring system is not just for questions and answers. You can tell any action to set a particular answer so you can even integrate and assess complex simulations and equipment tests. Individual questions can be set as course critical so you can ensure a critical part of the course MUST be passed, irrespective of the user's score in the rest of the test.
