Quiz

I would like to build a quiz where each answer has a value. At the end, the learner gets a total score. Example:

Question 1 - Choose your favorite:

a) chocolate  (value = 1)

b) coffee (value = 2)

c) salad (value = 3)

Question 2 - Choose your favorite:

a) gummy bears  (value = 1)

b) pretzels (value = 2)

c) kale (value = 3)

User chooses (b) for Question 1 (2pts) and (c) for Question 2 (3pts). At the end of the quiz his score would be 5 total points. 

Is it possible to build this? Can someone point me in the right direction for how to accomplish this? Thank you in advance. 

  • Hi, Meleah.

    Thank you for reaching out!

    There are a few different ways to accomplish what you're looking for, and it will also depend on how you need the tracking and reporting to work if you're using a Learning Management System.

    A simple solution would be to score a multiple choice question By Choice:

    This will allow you to give different points to each answer in your multiple-choice question:

    Remove the feedback option (set it to None), customize the Results slide so it doesn't show a Success or Failure layer, and remove the passing percentage:

    That's exactly what I was looking for. I'm not keeping track of scores or posting to an LMS. I'm creating a project for my portfolio. Thank you so much!

    Would I want to remove the freeform question or the "freeform" option. I'm not 100% sure I'm asking the right question. Sorry!

  • Hi, Meleah.

    In my example above, I didn't use freeform (I used a graded Multiple choice question). However, you can accomplish the same with a Pick one freeform slide:

    I hope this answers your question!

    Why is answer Choice B not showing up.... or showing up as Text Background - Rectangle 6"?

    Thank you for your help.

    Ahhh... yes! Thank you! I am such a newbie! I have a tutoring session scheduled with a private tutor in a couple of days but I'm still trying to figure things out. I really appreciate your help.

    Three more questions.

    ONE: On my question slide, I cannot set it to NOT have a correct answer. It is making me choose one of the answers. 

    TWO: I'm not sure how to set up my results slide. I removed the passing percentage when I set up the slide. I do not see a success for failure layer. (see attached)

    THREE: Can I duplicate the Multiple Choice slide once I get it set up and use it for all my questions? 

    Thanks again!

  • Hi, Meleah.

    I'm happy to help!

    ONE: On my question slide, I cannot set it to NOT have a correct answer. It is making me choose one of the answers. 

    This is not a problem since you're not using feedback, you're assigning points by choice, and you're not tracking through an LMS. However, if you don't want to have a correct answer, here's a trick:

    • Select an empty answer as correct
    • Go to Slide View
    • Go back to Form View

    TWO: I'm not sure how to set up my results slide. I removed the passing percentage when I set up the slide. I do not see a success for failure layer. (see attached)

    It looks like you're using a Survey Results slide instead of a Graded one. That's fine too! Just add a reference to the Results.ScorePoints variable so the user can see how many points they've received. If you add a Graded Results slide, the reference will be there already.

    THREE: Can I duplicate the Multiple Choice slide once I get it set up and use it for all my questions? 

    You should be able to do that!

    I hope this helps!

      Hi Maria - I stumbled on this thread in my search for use cases for adjusting the "points" in quizzes. Do you have a document you can share that outlines when to adjust the points versus using the default. Thank you.
