Mission tests are one of the keys to unlocking badges so that learners can validate their training. Use mission tests to ensure that learners can demonstrate specific, meaningful skills and knowledge of key concepts.

A mission test is an indication of capability and holds more weight than a simple module quiz. A mission test is a graded assessment testing all module content within a mission. Successful completion of the mission test is required for the learner to earn a badge.

Follow these guidelines when creating a mission test:

• Mission tests should contain a minimum of two (2) questions for each module in the mission.
• Mission tests should contain at least x 1.5 as many questions in the question bank as the number of questions on the test.
• Set the Passing score value to 80.
• Write clear and consistent test questions. For more information about how to write effective test questions, see the Pega Community article Writing quiz and exam questions.
