How is the average Course Quiz Attempts risk factor calculated?

We determine the average number of attempts a user takes across all of their quizzes. If this average is 10 or higher, it is then capped at 10, which represents the maximum risk score of 100% for that risk factor.

Examples:

  • If a user averages 10 attempts per quiz, they receive a 100% score for that risk factor. With a default quiz attempt weighting of 33%, this translates to a full 33 points added to their overall risk score.
  • If the average is 5 attempts per quiz, the user receives a 50% score for that risk factor. Using the same 33% weighting, this adds 16 points (rounded down) to their overall risk score.

Example using the calculation:

The user has a Quiz Attempts Score of 1 and has completed 4 quizzes, taking various number of attempts to pass the quizzes:

  • Emerging Cyber Threats Quiz 1: 5 attempts
  • The Essentials Plus Quiz 1: 3 attempts
  • Cyber Police Bonus Episode Quiz 1: 1 attempt
  • The Essentials Plus Quiz 2: 1 attempt

To calculate the average Quiz Attempts Score, find the sum of all of the quiz attempts, and then divide this figure by the total number of quizzes.

  • (5+3+1+1) /  4 * 10 = 10 / 4 * 10 = 2.5 * 10 = 25

In this instance, the customer has customised the risk score weighting for quiz attempts to have a 5% impact on the overall risk score calculation. 

You then need to multiply the weight - 5%

  •  25 *  (5/100) = 25 * 0.05 = 1.25 total Quiz Risk, which then rounds down to 1.
