How to Migrate Quizzes and Assessments to Kajabi

Introduction

When moving an online course to Kajabi, videos and lesson text are usually the obvious things to think about.

Quizzes and assessments need a little more care.

You need to make sure the questions are in the right place, the correct answers are set properly, passing grades still make sense, and students can continue through the course as expected.

The good news is that Kajabi has its own built-in quiz tools. The main thing to understand is that quizzes from another course platform generally need to be recreated inside Kajabi rather than automatically transferred. Kajabi also states that external courses must currently be rebuilt manually when moving from another platform.

Can You Migrate Quizzes to Kajabi?

Yes, you can move your existing quiz content to Kajabi, but there is an important difference between moving the content and automatically importing it.

If your quiz is coming from another Kajabi course, Kajabi lets you import that quiz directly into another course.

If you are moving from a different platform such as Teachable or Thinkific, the quiz will normally need to be recreated manually inside Kajabi.

That means copying over things such as:

• Questions
• Answer choices
• Correct answers
• Passing grades
• Images
• Instructions
• Feedback or explanations

This may take longer than a one-click import, but it also gives you a good chance to clean up old questions before the new course goes live.

Kajabi Quizzes vs Assessments

Before moving anything, it is important to understand how Kajabi currently uses these two features.

Quick takeaway: If the assessment on your old platform is part of the course and tests what students have learned, you will normally rebuild it as a Kajabi quiz.

Kajabi now recommends quizzes for testing students inside courses. The older Assessment feature inside Courses has been sunset, although some older Kajabi accounts may still show it. Assessments are now mainly used on websites and landing pages.

What Should You Move Before Starting?

Do not start rebuilding the quizzes straight away.

First, make a copy of everything you currently have.

For each quiz or assessment, save:

• Quiz name
• Where it appears in the course
• Every question
• Answer choices
• Correct answers
• Passing score
• Question images
• Instructions
• Answer explanations
• Any student results you still need

A simple spreadsheet or document is enough.

You do not need a complicated migration system. You just need one clear place where you can check that nothing has been missed.

This is especially useful if you have a large course with several quizzes.

How to Migrate Quizzes to Kajabi

The easiest way is to work through your course one quiz at a time.

1. Put the Quiz in the Right Part of the Course

Start by rebuilding your course structure in Kajabi.

Once the Modules and Lessons are in place, add each Quiz where it belongs.

Kajabi Quizzes can be added within the Course structure, so students can take them as they move through the content.

Keeping the same order as your old course will make the change easier for existing students.

2. Recreate the Questions

Next, copy each question into Kajabi.

Kajabi currently supports four main question types:

• Multiple choice
• Checkboxes
• Short answer
• File upload

Multiple-choice and checkbox questions can be automatically graded. Short answers and file uploads can be reviewed and graded manually.

If your old platform used a question type that Kajabi does not match exactly, choose the closest option and keep the question as simple as possible.

3. Add the Correct Answers

For graded questions, make sure the correct answers are marked.

Do not rush this part.

Even one wrong answer setting can give students the wrong score and create unnecessary support messages after launch.

If your old quiz also explained why an answer was right or wrong, Kajabi allows explanations to be added to answer options.

4. Set the Passing Grade

If students need to pass the quiz, set the required passing score.

Kajabi allows you to create graded or non-graded Quizzes and set a passing grade for graded quizzes.

Try to keep the passing score the same as your old course unless you have a reason to change it.

For example, if students previously needed 80% to pass, keeping the same rule makes the move less confusing.

5. Check Course Access Rules

Some courses only allow students to continue after passing a test.

Kajabi can lock later course content until a student completes or passes the required Quiz.

If you used this type of rule on your old platform, make sure it is also set up in Kajabi.

Otherwise, students may suddenly be able to skip a quiz that was previously required.

What Happens to Previous Quiz Results?

This is an important part of the migration.

Kajabi's external course migration process is manual, and its current migration guidance does not provide a way to automatically bring previous student quiz attempts and scores from another course platform into Kajabi.

So before closing your old platform, save any results that matter to your business.

This might include:

• Final scores
• Passed or failed status
• Completed assessments
• Student answers
• Certificates connected to a test

You may not need to move every old result into Kajabi itself. Sometimes keeping a secure copy of the old records is enough.

The important thing is not deleting your old platform before you have saved the information you may need later.

How to Test Your Quizzes Before Launch

Never assume a quiz is ready just because all the questions have been added.

Take the quiz yourself as if you were a student.

Check:

• Are all questions showing?
• Are the answer options correct?
• Are the right answers being graded correctly?
• Does the final score make sense?
• Does the passing grade work?
• Can a student continue when they pass?
• Is the next Module still locked when they fail?
• Does everything work properly on mobile?

Kajabi recommends using a test contact if you want to take the quiz as a real course customer and check the results.

Testing one full student journey before launch can save you a lot of problems later.

Common Quiz Migration Mistakes

Copying Questions Without Checking Them

Do not copy an old quiz just because it already exists.

Use the move as a chance to remove outdated questions, fix unclear wording, and check that every answer is still correct.

Using Assessments Instead of Quizzes

For new Kajabi Courses, use Quizzes for testing students.

Kajabi's old Course Assessment feature has been sunset, so building new course tests around Quizzes is the better option.

Forgetting Passing Grades

If passing a quiz controls access to the next part of your course, check the passing grade and course lock settings carefully.

Losing Old Student Results

Save important scores and results before closing the old platform.

Do this before migration day, not after the old account has already been removed.

Not Testing as a Student

The admin view can look fine while the student experience still has a problem.

Always complete the quiz through a test student account before giving customers access.

Conclusion

Moving quizzes and assessments to Kajabi is not difficult, but it does need a careful approach.

If you are coming from another course platform, expect to rebuild your quizzes inside Kajabi rather than simply clicking an import button.

Start by saving your existing questions and results. Then recreate the quiz, check the answers and passing score, set any access rules, and test everything as a student.

And remember the main difference:

Use Kajabi Quizzes for tests inside your Courses. Use Assessments mainly for surveys and questionnaires on your website or landing pages.

A little testing before launch will make the move much easier for both you and your students.
