MindTickle — Quiz & Assessment

Overview

Create quizzes and assessments, grade submissions, and track scores across your sales enablement programs in MindTickle. Use this workflow when building certification exams, knowledge checks after training modules, or competency assessments that feed into rep readiness scores. This is the secondary workflow — for training content and course management, see mindtickle-core-workflow-a.

Instructions

Step 1: Create a Quiz with Question Bank

const quiz = await client.assessments.create({
  title: 'Q2 Product Knowledge Certification',
  module_id: 'mod_product_q2',
  passing_score: 80,
  time_limit_minutes: 30,
  max_attempts: 2,
  questions: [
    { type: 'multiple_choice', text: 'What is the primary use case for Feature X?',
      options: ['Analytics', 'Automation', 'Security', 'Compliance'],
      correct: 1, points: 10 },
    { type: 'true_false', text: 'Feature Y supports SSO out of the box.',
      correct: true, points: 5 },
    { type: 'open_ended', text: 'Describe how you would position Feature X to a CFO.',
      points: 20, rubric: 'Must mention ROI, time savings, and compliance' },
  ],
});
console.log(`Quiz ${quiz.id} created — ${quiz.questions.length} questions, pass=${quiz.passing_score}%`);

Step 2: Assign Quiz to a Team

const assignment = await client.assessments.assign(quiz.id, {
  team_ids: ['team_sales_west', 'team_sales_east'],
  due_date: '2026-04-20',
  reminder_days: [7, 3, 1],
  notify: true,
});
console.log(`Assigned to ${assignment.total_reps} reps, due ${assignment.due_date}`);

Step 3: Grade Submissions and Review Scores

const submissions = await client.assessments.submissions(quiz.id, {
  status: 'completed',
  sort: 'score_desc',
});
submissions.items.forEach(s =>
  console.log(`${s.rep_name}: ${s.score}% (${s.passed ? 'PASS' : 'FAIL'}) — attempt ${s.attempt}/${quiz.max_attempts}`)
);
const pending = submissions.items.filter(s => s.pending_review);
for (const sub of pending) {
  await client.assessments.grade(quiz.id, sub.id, {
    question_scores: [{ question_id: 'q3', score: 15, feedback: 'Missed compliance angle' }],
  });
}

Step 4: Export Score Analytics

const analytics = await client.assessments.analytics(quiz.id, {
  group_by: 'team',
  metrics: ['avg_score', 'pass_rate', 'avg_completion_time'],
});
analytics.teams.forEach(t =>
  console.log(`${t.team_name}: avg=${t.avg_score}%, pass_rate=${t.pass_rate}%, avg_time=${t.avg_minutes}m`)
);
