Prove the training changed something
One exam placed twice, before and after, with the comparison done for you.
A pass rate tells you people cleared the bar. It does not tell you whether the training is what got them there, because you never measured what they knew walking in. A pre/post test is one exam placed twice, once before the teaching and once after, and Tivali does the comparison: how far the group moved, which topics moved, and who did not move at all.
What you get
- One exam, two placements, so questions and marking are identical on both sittings
- Pass mark, time limit, shuffling and anti-cheat are shared by both halves, because a post-test with an easier pass mark measures nothing
- The post-test stays locked until the learner has submitted the pre-test, so there is always a baseline to compare against
- Headline report: average before, average after, the change in points, and the learning gain (how much of the gap to a perfect score the group closed)
- Only learners who sat both halves count towards the change; someone who sat one is left blank instead of scored zero
- A by-topic breakdown groups questions by their tags and puts the weakest improvement first
- A question-by-question table marks each one improved, unchanged, or no comparison
- Every learner is named with their own before, after and change, so you follow up with the person and not the average
- Learners get their own before-and-after report, not just the instructor
- The whole report exports as a PDF, and the workspace dashboard ranks courses by weakest improvement
How it works
- 1
Write the exam once, the same way you write any other exam in Tivali
- 2
Add a Pre/Post Test to a course or a class, pick that exam, and choose where each half sits and when each is open
- 3
Learners sit the pre-test before the content, work through the course, then sit the same test again at the end
- 4
Open the comparison to see the movement per group, per topic, per question and per person, then export it
Common use cases
Security awareness training, where the point is fewer people clicking the fake invoice this year than last
Compliance refreshers, to show an auditor the training changed behaviour rather than just filling a completion column
Onboarding programs, to find the modules new hires already knew and the ones nobody picks up
Any training budget that has to be defended with a number at the end of the year
