Quizzes can be fun! Especially when you use LearnDash to build and customize them. Whether you’re training a team or teaching students, making your quizzes stand out is key to keeping learners engaged.
Let’s dive into the 3 best advanced features in LearnDash that can take your quizzes from “meh” to “magnificent.”
1. Question Banks & Randomization
Everyone learns differently. And nobody likes seeing the same questions every time they take a quiz.
With LearnDash, you can create dynamic quizzes using a question bank. Instead of showing all students the same set of questions, the system pulls questions randomly from a larger pool.
Here’s what makes this feature awesome:
- Random order – Keeps things fresh and unpredictable.
- Reduce cheating – Different test versions for each student.
- Custom difficulty – Mix easy, medium, and hard questions.
Just create a few dozen questions, tag them by topic or difficulty, and let LearnDash do the rest!
2. Question-Level Hints and Feedback
Getting stuck is frustrating. That’s why adding hints can be a game changer. Hints give learners a gentle nudge in the right direction—without giving away the answer.
LearnDash allows you to add hints to individual questions, as well as custom feedback based on whether the learner answers correctly or not.
This advanced feature helps in many ways:
- Supports learning – Learners build confidence and improve.
- Personalized feedback – Learners understand why their answer was right or wrong.
- Encourages retry – A failed question becomes an opportunity to grow.
Example:
Question: What’s the capital of Australia?
Hint: It’s not Sydney or Melbourne.
Incorrect Feedback: Nope! Sydney is the biggest city, but not the capital. Try again!
Just like magic, these small details make your quiz smarter and more learner-friendly.
3. Conditional Progression Rules
This feature is a secret weapon!
With conditional progression, you can control what happens based on your learner’s quiz performance. Want students to retake the quiz if they score below 70%? No problem. Want to unlock the next lesson only if they pass? Easy peasy.
Here’s how this can supercharge your course:
- Encourage mastery – Learners can’t just click through. They have to LEARN.
- Track understanding – Spot weak areas and help fix them.
- Smarter learning paths – One quiz result changes the learner’s next step.
You can even send automated emails if someone fails. Or unlock a bonus lesson if they ace it!
Imagine this:
“Congrats! You scored 95%. Click below to access our exclusive bonus video!”
Sounds exciting, right? Now your quizzes don’t just test—they guide, inspire, and reward.
Bonus Tips for Quiz Success
Want to make the most of these features? Follow these quick tips:
- Start small. Add one new feature at a time.
- Test your quizzes as a student.
- Use media! Add images or videos to make questions more interactive.
For example, instead of a plain text question, you can use:
“Watch this short video and answer the next question.”
