Define correct/incorrect answers scoring method for single choice question
 #

If you select Defining correct/incorrect answers, you can specify the number of points and penalty points.

By answer weight #

By enabling the By answer weight scoring method, you can specify the points each answer will carry. If you select the Calculate average points option, the achieved points for the question will be calculated by summing up all points for the selected answers and dividing the total by the number of selected answers.

Manual grading #

The checkboxes for selecting the correct answers will be unavailable when opting for the Manual grading scoring method. The user will need to manually grade the answer after completing the test. Additionally, you can define the possible range of points for the correct answer.

Branching settings #

Create multidimensional question structures by utilizing question branching. The branching option is available for any of the selected scoring methods.

Advanced question setup #

You can assign difficulty labels to questions to prepare for the Test generator and enhance filtration. Adjust appearance levels in randomly generated tests by specifying the frequency factor.

To define the question difficulty, open the drop-down many under the Difficulty section and select one of the offered values:

  1. Easy.
  2. Medium.
  3. Hard.

To define the frequency of the question appearing in the test, open the drop-down menu under the Frequency section and select one of the proposed values: Never, Rarely, Normal, Often, Always.

Question categories #

You have the option to include question categories for filtering during test generation. Select the category with the appropriate values, and they will be added to the question.

Additional question properties #

You can define additional properties for the question.

Additional attachments #

In addition to multimedia embedded in the question text, you can attach files in various formats related to the question, such as literature relevant to both the question and its potential answers. You can choose to create a new attachment or select from the existing library.

Special case: You can add multiple pictures to a single question using this option. To this, follow the next steps:

  1. Name the attachment.

Translations #

Generate versions of this question in different languages. Select a language from the drop-down menu and enter the question and its answers in the selected language.

Assistance #

Specify the optional support that aids in answering the question. If the candidate opts to utilize the assistance, a penalty will be imposed on the question score. If assistance is defined for a question with enabled branching, the branching option will be disabled.

Adding attachments to the question’s answers #

Select the three dots option and the Upload attachment option to add an attachment to the question’s answer.

After selecting the attachment, the image will appear under the answer’s text.
