By answer weight #
By enabling the By answer weight scoring method, you can specify the points each answer will carry. If you select the Calculate average points option, the achieved points for the question will be calculated by summing up all points for the selected answers and dividing the total by the number of selected answers.
By combination of answers #
Manual grading #
The checkboxes for selecting the correct answers will be unavailable when opting for the Manual grading scoring method. The user will need to manually grade the answer after completing the test. Additionally, you can define the possible range of points for the correct answer.
Limiting the number of answers the user can select is available for all scoring methods.
