## What is a Simple Assessment?

**A Simple Assessment provides a score based on a respondent’s answers. **

- It’s like a school test without any right and wrong answers.
- For example, an assessment can ask, “How likely would you enjoy a visit to the UK?” and answer out of 100%. You can set the range of scores from 1 to 100 or any other number. And you can provide custom feedback depending on the respondent’s score, such as: “Your score of 89% shows you would likely enjoy visiting the UK very much.”

## Navigate to the Scoring Tab

To score your **Simple** assessment, start by entering the **[Agolix](https://agolix.com)** editor.

First, select the **“Edit”** link in the menu underneath your assessment.

![Edit assessment](https://agolix.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Edit-simple-assessment-1024x156.png)

Then click on the **“Scoring”** tab at the top of the page.

![Scoring Tab](https://agolix.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Scoring-Tab-shorter-1024x333.png)

The **“Scoring”** page sets up how your assessments will be scored and provide feedback to your respondents based on their overall assessment score.

## Manual and Automatic Scoring

At the top of the page is a toggle where you can choose **“Manual”** or **“Automatic”** scoring.

![Automatic and Manual Scoring](https://agolix.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Automatic-and-Manual-Scoring-1024x146.png)

### Automatic Scoring

With **“Automatic”** scoring, **Agolix** assigns how many points go in each **“[Score Band.](https://agolix.com/user-guide/glossary/#score_band_glossary)”** 

The total possible points are divided by the number of **Score Bands**; so if your assessment has 100 points and 4 **Score Bands,** each band covers 25 points.

### Manual Scoring

With **“Manual”** scoring, you set the values for your [Score Ranges](https://agolix.com/user-guide/glossary/#score_range_glossary) however you like.

For example, you can have High, Medium, and Low ****Score Bands**** and set the **Score Range** for each ****Score Band****.

## Set Presentation Order for Score Interpretations

Next is where you set the presentation order for the score interpretations.

![Set Score Interpretation Order](https://agolix.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Set-Score-Interpretation-Order.png)

**NOTE:**This setting is only relevant when you also select to show score interpretation for **“All score ranges”** in the **“[How Respondents Receive Their Result](https://agolix.com/user-guide/set-up-how-respondents-receive-results/)[s](https://agolix.com/user-guide/set-up-how-respondents-receive-results/)”** section under the **“Results”** tab.)

 

Here you can choose whether to display the score interpretation for the respondent’s score band first or present the score interpretations in the order you specify.

## Show Score as a Percentage

Moving down the page, there is an option to display respondents’ scores as a percentage of the total possible score.

When you check this option, your assessment range changes from the minimum and the maximum number of points available to 0% to 100% of the total possible score.

![Show Assessment Score as a Percentage](https://agolix.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Show-Assessment-Score-as-a-Percentage-1-1024x276.png)

You’ll also find that the min and max scores will change for any **Score Bands** you’ve already defined.

If your assessment is set to **“Automatic” **scoring, then the ranges for your **Score Bands** will be automatically adjusted to fit between 0 and 100%.

If your assessment is set to **“Manual” **scoring, then the ranges for your **Score Bands** may need to be adjusted to achieve your desired results. Any min and max scores below 0 and above 100% will be highlighted in red to indicate that a change is needed for those values.

## Create Your Score Bands

The next part of the page Is where you create your **Score Bands.**

Based on the point assignments you’ve made when you set up your assessment questions, the message here will show you the minimum and maximum possible scores for your assessment.

![Assessment Score Bands](https://agolix.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Assessment-Score-Bands-1024x86.png)

### Add Score Band

Click the **“Add Score Band”** button to create a score band.

![Add Assessment Score Band](https://agolix.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Add-Assessment-Score-Band-1024x82.png)

### Title Your Score Band

Add a title for this**Score Band**. Your respondents will not see this title, so you can name it something that makes sense to you.

Common names for score interpretations are "High," "Medium," and "Low."

![Assessment Score Band Title](https://agolix.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Assessment-Score-Band-Title-1024x86.png)

### Set The Score Range (for Manual Scoring only)

Set the minimum to maximum score range limits for this **Score Band.**

This area will be greyed out if you have **“Automatic”** scoring turned on.

![Score band min and max](https://agolix.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Score-band-min-and-max-1024x95.png)

### Enter Score Interpretation

Next, add the feedback for respondents to receive when they score in this range. 

![Enter Assessment Score Interpretation](https://agolix.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Enter-Assessment-Score-Interpretation-1024x272.png)

### Save and Repeat

Then click the **“Save”** button to return to the **“Scoring”** tab.

Repeat until you have added all of your Score Bands.

## Redirect Based on Score

This feature is available for [Advanced, Private Label, and Professional plans](https://app.agolix.com/pricing).

You can specify different destination URLs depending on how the respondent scores on their assessment.

### Disable On-Screen Results

First, go to the **“Results”** tab in the assessment editor and make sure **“On-Screen”** is **not selected** and that the **“Redirect URL” field is blank**, like this, and then save the assessment:

![Redirect URL](https://agolix.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Redirect-URL-1024x397.png)

### Specify URL for Each Score Band

When you return to the **“Scoring”** tab and edit your **Score Bands**, you’ll see a place to enable **“Redirect to URL”** for each **Score Band**.

![Redirect to URL based on Score](https://agolix.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Redirect-to-URL-unchecked-1.png)

Enable this setting, enter the destination URL for each **Score Band** in the space provided, and save your changes.

![enter the destination URL](https://agolix.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Redirect-to-URL-based-on-Assessment-Score-1024x53.png)

Enable this setting, enter the destination URL for each **Score Band** in the space provided, and save your changes.
