'Score by Choice' counting only the highest score per question
Hello,
Today, I was working on building a new training course with a quiz which have multiple-choice questions that should be scored by choice.
On the result slide, I set 100% as the passing score and found out that it is actually calculating the 'Quiz.PassPoints' variable as the sum of the highest scores per question, although the choice with the highest score is not always the correct answer. What to do? Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

I don't understand why you aren't assigning the highest score to the correct answer. Doing that, someone might select all the answers that have the highest score for each question. Even though some of the answers would be wrong, their total points would be worth more than the sum total of the points for the correct answers. In other words, their points could be equal or greater than than the total Pass Points.
I suggest you assign partial credit with the correct answer always having the highest point value.
That's because this quiz doesn't have a regular fixed cut score; instead, it has a passing range (say 25-27). Anything more or less will result in a fail. Therefore, some of the 'non-gold standard' answers (potentially with a higher score than the correct answer) will be allowed as long as the sum total sits within that range, so I just can't assign the highest score to the correct answerâ that will dilute the scoring. The other concern you raised, I was planning to check the Quiz.PassPoints variable with a trigger on the result slide. However, I've come to discover that Storyline doesn't have an out-of-the-box mechanism to facilitate a pass-fail grading on the basis of a range. I think I'll have to use a combination of triggers, custom variables, and most likely a hidden graded question slide to implement this. I believe you understand what I'm referring to. As a veteran, if you know of some other methods, please let me know. I will honestly appreciate that. Thank you very much for your time and support.
As I was reading your reply, I thought, "That probably needs a hidden graded question." đ
Best wishes for success!
