Negative Scoring

Ignore the ribbon. When you are in the question slide's form view, next to the correct responses, you probably see a default value of "10". The default value you should see next to the incorrect responses is "0". If you click on the "0" in the points value column next to your incorrect responses, you should be able to adjust it to a negative value.

Hi Owen,

I want to set different values to each choice, not the entire question.

Got it. This is kind of clunky but this may be a work around for you: Link to Post

Hi Owen,

Thanks, but it's not a workaround I need ... I seem to have a blind spot when it comes to the instructions for using "By choice" from the ribbon menu, I just don't seem to be able to follow the guide at: https://community.articulate.com/series/4/articles/assigning-a-score-to-graded-questions-in-articulate-storyline-2 and was hoping to get alternative instructons to help me overcome my difficulties.

I just opened SL2 and the option is in the dropdown. I looked in SL3 and the dropdown menu is there but only the default option.  So, either this is a bug that needs to be reported... or the functionality was discontinued. 

I just submitted a case (# 01182022) but suggest you do the same.

Hi Mike

if it's a Multiple Response quiz type you are using they don't have the option to score by choice - that is the same in SL2 and SL360 (assume SL3 is the same)

Multiple Choice, Word Bank, Freeform Pick One, and Freeform Hotspot questions are score by choice.

See this SL3 tutorial 

This may be where my confusion lies. When I'm creating the quiz slide and I look at "Multiple Choice" the description says it's a 'one from many' question. As I want 'six from eight' I've been trying with 'Multiple Response'!

I am using SL2.

I'll be back in the office in the morning and will try again and let you know.

Hi Mike

you're correct in using a MR to get 6 from 8 but that quiz type doesn't have the option for scoring by choice unfortunately.

Hi Wendy & Owen,

It would appear that I misunderstood what the tutorial was showing me, so what I'm trying to achieve is not possible ... without a workaround.

In Moodle's quiz editor there's an option for "Select one or more". Using that, I can apply a percentage of the question's score to each correct response, and a negative percentage to each incorrect response.

Hi Mike

this is the extract from the tutorial.  You are correct you cannot score  by choice using the graded MR quiz type. 

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Thanks Wendy.  I'm going to use a similar method to the one Owen Holt suggested.

I would also submit a feature request. I agree with you that it seems strange they would open this for multiple choice but not multiple response.
