I'm confused, why would it make sense to have a multiple choice question have the option of scoring by answer and not a multiple response question? I love using the multiple response questions but if the learner doesn't select all the correct options then the entire question is wrong. I wish I could score this question type by answer and give the learner credit for getting 3 out of 4 correct answers. I'm hoping I'm missing something and that there is a way to do this...
This is a feature request I would love to see as well, unfortunately, I can't submit it. :( I've attached a screenshot to show that there is no Submit button or anywhere to describe my feature request.
My two cents through...I would love the ability on every type of question to score by answer, and not just a select few types. If a learner has to drag and drop six things in the right place, and they get four of them correct, they should receive points for the four correct items...same with any type of multiple response question.
I went ahead and submitted it on your behalf. Thanks for posting here - can you let me know if you don't see the submit button in all browsers, or just a particular one?
We have the latest version of IE installed at work...that's where I attempted to submit the request. I submitted another feature request earlier in the week with no problem. I'm not sure why I was having issues with it today. Thank you for the follow up!
I just purchased Storyline 2 and to my dissapointment, I see that score by answer is still not available for multiple response slides, although it is extremely important for correct scoring, and it seemed to be a popular request.
Are there any plans to include it, and if yes when could it be available?
A multiple response question is still set up so that the user must select all the possible answers to be scored correct, and I don't know if this specifically has been a popular request - although I know a lot of users asked for "partial scoring" or "negative scoring" for questions in general. The option to assign score by choice, it's only available for some question types, including Multiple Choice, Word Bank, Freeform Pick One, and Freeform Hotspot.
I too feel it's "natural" to expect Storyline 2 would have this functionality. Do we have any word back from the development team as to whether this feature will be implemented?
I too would love this functionality, we just ran a week long course with quizzes each day and the main complaint was that when a multiple response question was answer partially correct they didn't get any marks.
This discussion is a bit older, but we don't yet have partial scoring in Storyline. I know it's been talked about here for a bit in ELH but it's always a good idea to also send in your thoughts on this as a feature request, and here's some insight into how we manage those and determine which features may make the next version.
I see that after 7 years this very obvious and much needed functionality still has not been added. I have just put in a feature request, but appearances would indicate that it won't do any good.
This is such an obvious and important feature, I'm surprised that it even had to be requested. Really not clear as to how something like this is still sub-par after this long...good to know it's not just me though.
I am just starting to get to know Articulate but I have already encountered this limitation on my 4th day using the software.
To be honest I am very surprised this feature (points by choice in multiple response questions) is not a given option in Articulate. Many MC exams at universities work with this approach and I wanted to use it in my company to test training knowledge of employees.
In the base layer - Create a blank slide and include your question text (in a text box). Next, add the answer options. For each answer option, provide a check box or a radio button. Declare a variable with a name and its default value set as 0. Enable triggers for each check box. For each correct answer that the user selects, add a trigger that increments the appropriate marks to the variable. For incorrect answers, increment the variable by 0.
Next, add a button (on the base layer) to reveal three layers - correct, partially correct, and incorrect. In the 'correct' layer, add suitable text for all correct answers. Include the following (without the double quotes) - "Your score is %variable name declared by you%". This configuration enables SL to reveal you total score.
Add suitable text and reveal the score for partially correct and incorrect layers. Finally, add triggers for the button on the base layer to show the suitable layers with conditioning. (If variable = 0, if variable = 1 etc.).
If you would like to use the default 'Submit' button, you need to enable the same and configure suitable triggers. In this case, the 'Submit' button requires a validation of the variable and we need to 'show' the corresponding layer.

Hi Cristy!
Sorry for the inconvenience, but it's a popular feature request. Please feel free to add your voice if you'd like to see it in future builds. Thanks!
I will thank you.

Hm, definitely seems odd. Hopefully it was just a one time thing.
If it happens again, let us know and we'll figure out the next steps.
Hi everyone,
this feature does not appear to have been added yet. Is it in the works hopefully?
I noticed that it's an option for multiple choice or word bank questions but not in multiple response questions - where I could use it.
Thanks!
Janet
Hi Janet,
Unfortunately it's not a feature in Storyline yet, and if you haven't already you may want to add your voice to the feature requests here.

You're welcome and encouraged to send additional feature requests here.
Hi Articulate,

Hi Simon,
I don't have any updates to share at this time, but once there is additional information we'll be certain to update the forums.

Hi Ashley, I thought this was the case so have also added my voice for a feature request. Thanks for responding.
Why isn't this functionality available yet? It's on Multiple Choice so the coding is already done, just apply it to the other question types.
Restricting it this why isn't helpful.
You keep saying this is a popular feature request, so why hasn't this been done FOR 6 YEARS.

I've answered your post over here. Let me know if you have any questions!
The trick is pretty simple.
In the base layer - Create a blank slide and include your question text (in a text box). Next, add the answer options. For each answer option, provide a check box or a radio button. Declare a variable with a name and its default value set as 0. Enable triggers for each check box. For each correct answer that the user selects, add a trigger that increments the appropriate marks to the variable. For incorrect answers, increment the variable by 0.
Next, add a button (on the base layer) to reveal three layers - correct, partially correct, and incorrect. In the 'correct' layer, add suitable text for all correct answers. Include the following (without the double quotes) - "Your score is %variable name declared by you%". This configuration enables SL to reveal you total score.
Add suitable text and reveal the score for partially correct and incorrect layers. Finally, add triggers for the button on the base layer to show the suitable layers with conditioning. (If variable = 0, if variable = 1 etc.).
If you would like to use the default 'Submit' button, you need to enable the same and configure suitable triggers. In this case, the 'Submit' button requires a validation of the variable and we need to 'show' the corresponding layer.
Hope this helps!
