1. Decide what is the point limit for passing (for example 20 p/ 40 p).

2. Create a new category

• Grades tab and from the left side menu Gradebook setup

• Up right menu choose Add Category
• Give an informative name to the New Category e.g. Exam grade
• Change Grade type to Scale and choose the scale Fail / Pass and Save

 

Move quiz/quizes to the new category

• Select Quiz/Quizes
• Choose on bottom of the page Move and select the new category

 

 

 

Next we define the function to that Exam grade category.

• Choose Edit menu (three dots) > Edit calculation from the category line

 

First we must add the ID to the quiz

• write the ID name (can be letters or/and numbers). ID is visible only to teachers. Here we use exam1 and exam2
• Save IDs by choosing Add ID numbers on the bottom
• After saving IDs are like this: [[exam1]]

• Write to the Grade item Calculation field function like this
  • One exam: =if([[exam1]]>=20,2,1), where the 10 is the point limit for passing.
  • Two exams: =if(max([[exam1]],[[exam1]])>=20,2,1)

This function can be read like this:

"If quiz points are at least 20, then 2 (=pass) is given, otherwise 1 (=fail)"

or

"If max points of exam1 and exam2 is at least 20, then 2 (=pass) is given, otherwise 1 (=fail)"

• If you have Finnish language in use in Moodle function is written  =if([[exam1]]>=20;2;1)
• Save changes

 

 

After these settings Gradebook transfers the Quiz points automatically to the scale Fail / Pass in the gradebook.
