Scoring rules

Partial credit

When "Partial credit" is enabled on a multiple-choice question, each correct choice adds points and each wrong choice cancels one out. The result never goes below 0. For example, a respondent who picks 2 of the 3 correct answers plus 1 wrong option gets 1/3 of the question's points.

In matching, ordering and fill-in-the-blanks questions, a share of the points is given for each item placed correctly.

Negative marking

You can set a number of "points deducted for a wrong answer" on a question. It applies only when the answer is entirely wrong. Unanswered questions lose no points, and the overall test score never drops below 0.

Checking short answers

Short-answer and fill-in-the-blanks questions accept several correct answers. The following settings matter especially for Uzbek:

• Upper and lower case are treated the same.
• Apostrophe variants are treated as equal: o', oʻ and o‘ are the same.
• Latin and Cyrillic scripts are equal: both Buxoro and Бухоро are accepted.
• Punctuation and extra spaces are ignored.
• Typo tolerance (optional): one or two wrong letters are forgiven.
