SL2 not scoring accurately
Nov 28, 2017
Hi Everyone,
I have a strange issue with a SL2 file that I've been asked to investigate; basically, the .story file is a quiz, consisting of a bank of 70 non-mandatory questions (which 29 questions are randomly drawn from and displayed) and 21 mandatory questions, and the user would answer each question before moving on, with a review being displayed at the end showing their score out of 100% (with a 80% pass mark). Here's the weird part: I've gone through the quiz with the correct answers sheet, answered every question correctly, and got a score of 98.32%?!?
My thought track was that the scoring on each question was off, so I went through each question, one by one, checking that 1) they are scored 2) that the correct answer scores correctly, and everything came up fine. So I have no idea what to look for now.
Does anyone have any pockets of information they could share? I'd love for it to be a "Have you checked XYZ in XYZ menu?" and it fixes the issue... but it's not always the case.
Thanks in advance for any help...
- Shane

Hi Shane
By the looks that % is indicating one incorrect response
Do you have any MC questions that may have an option to score by choice instead of score by question.
Hi Wendy, Thanks for getting back to me.
Yeah that's what I was thinking too. I'll go back through them again and keep a closer eye on that option (I was only focusing on the individual scores per question).
If a Multiple Choice question is scored by choice rather than by Question, could that throw off the scoring at the end?
I've just had a look, and there are some questions that need more than one selectable answer selected, and these are all scored by choice. The questions with Radio buttons and only expect one answer selected, are scored by question. That kinda makes sense (after reading different knowledge base articles about the difference between Choice and Question).
Is there any pitfalls to look out for when using this scoring system?
Hi Shane
here is the tutorial about scoring by choice vs question.
I guess if the choice points = what you would have given for the whole question it shouldn't make a difference.
A test you could do is add a text box to each quiz slide that contains the results.scorepoints variable - then you’d be able to see which one isn’t marking correctly. I’d take off the random selection in the QB so all of them are presented otherwise you may not find the culprit.
