very interesting solution - so many tricks for something that should actually be included in storyline (without tricks)
I understand why Articulate doesn't include this functionality.
There are so many possible variations, especially related to the responses that shouldn't be selected. For example, I added points if the user didn'tselect a wrong answer. Some developers might want to subtract points if a user does select a wrong answer. Or not use the state of the wrong answer at all when figuring points.
It could also get tricky if you want all questions to be worth a given number of points (for example, 10 points). Then how do you divvy up the points when there are 3 or 4 responses?
Personally, I've never given partial credit for a Multiple Response question, and I doubt I ever will. I only created the demo because I've seen people ask about this a few times in the Forum.
And if someone wants to use this trick, it's up to them to figure out how they want the scoring to work. :-)
For someone who is new to creating questions in Storyline this is quite complicated! It would make life so much easier if the multiple response question allowed you to put points against each answer.

Nicely explained and well done.
Thanks, Owen.
I tried to anticipate the questions someone might have about the programming. Hence all the "Notes" slides.
It's not pretty, but it works. :-)

Very cool, thank you for sharing!
I hope it's helpful. 😃
FYI: Disguised multiple-choice questions could also be used to track answers to types of questions that can't be graded by Storyline. For example, if a question needs to evaluation multiple text-entry answers. Or for situations where more than one answer is correct, but the user only needs to pick one (as described in this post: TIP: Create a "Pick One" Question with Multiple Correct Answers - Articulate Storyline Discussions - E-Learning Heroes).
