What is "Pass percentage"?

In the Multiple Choice activity there is the option:

Pass percentage

Percentage of Total score required for passing the quiz. I don't undesrtand what this means. What "quiz" are we talking about? The "Pass percentage" option is not mentioned at all in the Multiple Choice question tutorial.

Good catch papi jo. Pass percentage adds a threshold that users must overcome to pass the multi choice quiz. I'll update documentation today.

Sorry but I still do not understand what this means. What is a "multichoice quiz"? It is a Question Set activity containing only MCQ question? I have tried to create a Question Set activity with several MCQ in it and tried to change the Pass percentage setting for the questions, it does not change anything in the final result!

Hi Papi Jo, I forgot to mention that it only works with the behavioral setting "Give one point for the whole task" checked. 
Ideally this is how it should work:

OK, now I understand.

To make this more evident to the MCQ question creator I suggest changing the Pass percentage description from "Percentage of Total score required for passing the quiz." to "Percentage of Total score required for passing the quiz. This will only be applied if Give one point for the whole task is checked."

An ever better change would be to make the "Pass percentage" field only get automatically displayed upon checking the "Give one point for the whole task" option. Actually, there are a quite few other Behaviour settings in H5P activities where the automatic display/hide of parameters dependent upon other settings would be desirable. But I understand this means some re-engineering.

fnoks has started working on a widget that will handle the selection of parameters based on the other settings:

So hopefully this will be less of a problem in the future.

Excellent!

It also has one other effect IIRC: the xAPI property result.success is determined by the pass percentage

I didn't know that. In that case, if the percentage field could be hidden, it could still be made 100% by default (as it is now).

It was added through a pull request from someone using xAPI. They're not using 1 point for the whole question. I think we need to keep it visible, or maybe keep it visible for those who have indicated that they use xAPI in their H5P settings. I changed the description of it yesterday. Did it get better?

New description is OK for me.
