Use scored quizzes to assess parent readiness, match families to programs, or create personalized onboarding experiences. This guide shows you how to assign scores to quiz answers, organize them into categories, and display custom result messages based on how families score.

When to Use Scored Quizzes

Scored quizzes work great for:

  • Program matching: Help families discover which program fits their child best
  • Readiness assessments: Evaluate if a family is ready for enrollment
  • Parent personality types: Segment families based on their preferences and priorities
  • Tour qualification: Score and prioritize which tour leads to follow up with first

How to Add Scoring to Your Quiz

Step 1: Create or Edit a Quiz

  1. Log into your Enrollio account
  2. Navigate to Sites → Quizzes
  3. Select an existing quiz or click + New Quiz
[SCREENSHOT: Sites menu with Quizzes option highlighted, showing list of existing quizzes with "+ New Quiz" button]

Step 2: Add Questions

  1. Click Add Question
  2. Choose your question type (Single Choice, Multiple Choice, Dropdown, etc.)
  3. Enter your question text and answer options
  4. For each answer, assign a score value based on its importance
Pro Tip: For program matching quizzes, assign higher scores to answers that indicate stronger alignment with your offerings.

Step 3: Create Score Categories

  1. Create categories that represent what you're measuring (for example: "Infant Care," "Toddler Program," "Preschool Readiness")
  2. Assign each answer to one or more categories
  3. The category popover explains how scoring works as you build — use it as a quick reference

How category scoring works:

  • Single Choice/Dropdown: Only one answer can be selected, so it has a fixed maximum score
  • Multiple Choice: Multiple answers can be selected, so the maximum score is the sum of all options

Step 4: Save and Preview

  1. Click Save Quiz
  2. Use the Preview option to test your quiz
  3. Verify that scores calculate correctly across all categories

Understanding How Scores Are Calculated

When a parent completes your quiz, Enrollio calculates their score using this formula:

Final Score = (Selected Score / Maximum Possible Score) × 100

This calculation happens separately for:

  • Overall quiz score
  • Each individual category

Example Calculation

Let's say you created a program matching quiz with three categories:

Category Score Earned Maximum Score Final Percentage
Overall 90 130 69%
Infant Care 20 50 40%
Toddler Program 20 50 40%
Preschool 10 50 20%

In this example, the parent scored highest for Infant Care and Toddler Program — perfect information for your follow-up conversation.

How "Overall Only" Scoring Works

  • If you assign an answer to Overall Only, it counts toward the total quiz score but not any specific category
  • If you assign an answer to both a category and Overall, it counts in both places
  • Each category calculates independently, but all category scores together make up the Overall score

Add Dynamic Result Messages

Show different messages based on score ranges. This is perfect for guiding families to next steps based on their results.

  1. Go to the Result Page in your quiz builder
  2. Define your score ranges (for example: Low 0–40%, Medium 41–70%, High 71–100%)
  3. Add a custom message for each range
  4. Optionally add a call-to-action button (schedule a tour, start application, etc.)

Example Messages for Parent Enrollment Quiz

  • Low score (0–40%): "Let's explore which program might be the best fit for your family. Schedule a tour to learn more."
  • Medium score (41–70%): "You're on the right track! Let's discuss your specific needs and find the perfect match."
  • High score (71–100%): "Your family is a great fit for our program! Let's get started with enrollment."

Customize Your Result Page

Build a fully customized result page by adding and styling these sections:

Header Section

  • Show or hide your center name
  • Upload your logo and adjust its size
  • Customize the quiz title (font, size, color, alignment)
  • Set background color and spacing
[SCREENSHOT: Result page header customization panel showing logo upload, title editor, and layout options]

Overall Score Section

Display the parent's total quiz performance.

Options:

  • Turn on Dynamic Content to show different messages for different score ranges
  • Rename the section title (for example, "Your Program Match Score")
  • Show or hide the numeric score
  • Choose format: percentage, actual score, or out of 10
  • Position the score on the left or right
  • Add custom text, images, or links for each score tier

Category Score Section

Break down performance across your categories (for example, different program types).

Options:

  • Rename the section (for example, "Your Program Breakdown")
  • Enable dynamic messaging per category
  • Show or hide percentages
  • Add explanatory text under each category
  • Choose display format: percentage, actual score, or out of 10

Example: "Infant Care 80%, Toddler Program 60%, Preschool 40%" with custom feedback for each.

Individual Category Section

Highlight a single category — either the highest or lowest scoring one.

Settings:

  • Display Category: Choose to show the highest or lowest scoring category
  • Dynamic Tags: Insert variables like {{quiz_tags.highest_category_name}} or {{quiz_tags.highest_category_score}}
  • Content Editor: Add custom text, format fonts, include links
  • Media Options: Toggle between image or video. For video, paste a link and choose placement
  • CTA Button: Add a button to schedule a tour, start an application, or visit a specific page
Pro Tip: Use the highest category feature to automatically recommend the best program for each family.

Call to Action Section

Drive families to take the next step.

Options:

  • Add a heading and description
  • Customize button text and link
  • Choose button style and colors
  • Link to your tour scheduler, application page, or contact form

Footer Section

  • Add closing text or legal disclaimers
  • Include social media links
  • Set background color and spacing

Advanced Option: Show Winning Categories Only

If you only want to display categories where the parent scored above a certain threshold, enable this option. This keeps results focused on the most relevant programs.

Best Practices

  • Test thoroughly: Always preview your quiz and complete it yourself to verify scoring works correctly
  • Keep categories clear: Use category names that make sense to parents ("Infant Care" not "Category A")
  • Check your math: If category totals don't match your overall score, verify that answers assigned to "Overall Only" aren't accidentally affecting categories
  • Use dynamic messaging: Tailor your result messages to each score range — make them actionable and specific
  • Add clear CTAs: Every result page should guide families to the next step, whether that's scheduling a tour or starting an application
  • Consider your follow-up: Quiz results automatically save to the family's profile, so your team can reference them during tours and enrollment conversations
Pro Tip: Create an automation that triggers different follow-up sequences based on quiz scores. High scorers might get a direct application link, while lower scorers receive more educational content first.
