Adjust SCORM min & max scores

By default, a BranchTrack SCORM package reports scores to your LMS on a scale from 0 to 100. If your simulation can earn more than 100 points, or your LMS expects a different range, change the minimum and maximum score in the exported package. You only need a text editor and a tool to unzip and zip files.

How to change the score range

  1. Export the SCORM package: on the Simulations page, click Publish (rocket icon) → Export as… → choose your SCORM version.

  2. Unzip the downloaded package.

  3. Open the file index.html in a text editor (for example Notepad on Windows or TextEdit on Mac).

  4. Find this line:

    scorm: {"version":"2004","status":null,"min_score":0,"max_score":100}

    The version and status values depend on the package you exported.

  5. Change the numbers after "min_score": and "max_score":. For example, if learners can earn up to 250 points, set "max_score":250. Don't change anything else on the line.

  6. Save the file.

  7. Zip all the files again and upload the new package to your LMS.

How the LMS score is calculated

  • BranchTrack sends the learner's score and a scaled score. The scaled score is the score divided by max_score. For example, 150 points with "max_score":250 gives 0.6 (60%).

  • The minimum score is not used in this calculation.

  • Set max_score to the highest score a learner can get in your simulation, so that a perfect run gives 100%.

Note: if you export the package again later, BranchTrack creates a new index.html with the default values. Repeat these steps after every export.
