# How do I align an outcome with a question bank?

You can align any outcome in your course to a question bank. Outcomes can be aligned with a question bank for additional assessment and measurable performance.

To align an outcome, the outcome must already exist for your course. You can align outcomes created at the account level, or learn how to [create course outcomes](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-an-outcome-for-a-course/ta-p/862).

The Learning Mastery Gradebook mastery score for an aligned outcome calculates based only on questions from the aligned question bank in a quiz. The mastery score is calculated by weighing the percentage score of correct answers from the question bank against the mastery score set when aligning the question bank to the outcome. For example, if the outcome is set to mastery at 60%, a student must score 60% or higher in order to master the outcome.
