I am trying to figure out the point of having points even though I set a passing grade. Is there anyway to remove the point system as a whole. I have tried to put it to zero but it can confuse the learner. Is there any answer about removing the point system?
I'm not sure that I am following your question. Are you just wanting to remove the 'points' section of the results slide? You are able to delete that if you'd like.
The points are how the percentage is calculated. If you have three questions, for example and each is worth 10 points:
10 + 10 + 10 = 30 | 30/30=1*100=100%
In this situation, each question is worth 33% of the score. If you reduced one of the question points value to 5 the total would be 25. Missing the 5 point question would net a total percentage of 80% while missing either of the other two would result in 60%.
Going with default values weighs each question with the same value. This results in an average based on questions correct. The cool thing about the points system is weights, and now with the addition of negative points you can take points off for specific answers. This is handy if you want to weigh choices themselves.
If you don't want to show the score, you can delete it from the results slide.

Hi Johanna and welcome to E-Learning Heroes!

I think am having the same issue! Due to the number of questions the points are fighting with the math of the passing percentage correct?
