Points Awarded per question

Apr 01, 2020

My tests always exceed 100 questions, sometimes even 200 questions.

How can I show my points as less than 1, like .5 or 1/2?

What does -5 mean?

I am an amateur and not IT gifted at all. I would greatly appreciate layman terms and I may actually understand it. To be honest I am fairly lost about a lot of this stuff.

Hi Bob,

Happy to help! 

You can adjust the points for a graded question by following these steps:

  1. From the Form View, go to the Home tab on the ribbon and be sure that the Score drop-down is set to By Question


  2. From here, you can enter a point value in the point fields for correct and incorrect answers at the bottom of the window:

I also wanted to share our help guide that provides more details on this here: 

Please let us know if you have any questions!

TY Vincent.However, using your directions, as I reduce the point value for correct answers I encounter after 0, it goes -1,-2,-3 and so on.I need 1/2 or (.5) per question if my quiz exceeds 100 points.In other words,a person that got 150 correct answers on a 200 question quiz should = a value of 75.How can I do that?

TY Lauren.Your suggestions have been very helpful.I can make that work.
Quizmaker 2.1 had a feature that allowed students to Email their Quiz results.This was a very important feature for us since because it notified us that student had in fact completed the class and Quiz as we monitor our students.What alternative is offered now on the new Quizmaker?TY,Bob & Barbara 
Thank you.

Hi Bob,

I'm glad that Vincent and Lauren were able to help you with your questions above. I'd be happy to help you with your additional question.

What alternative to e-mailing results is available in Quizmaker 360?

Your question indicates that you are aware that this is no longer a feature within the software. Due to other circumstances outside of our control, such as security settings, e-mail servers, and learner tampering we did not include this feature.

There should be options for learner notifications within your LMS.

I also welcome other ideas from your fellow colleagues here in the community to see how they are communicating with their learners as well.

P.S. It looks like your email signature came through when you replied via email. You can remove that if needed by clicking ‘Edit’ beneath your response. Here’s a quick Peek video if you need help.
