Additional Setup Options
Scoring
Choose your Scoring Type for the question after you have entered the correct responses to each blank.
Select Exact Match to require that students correctly respond to all choices. This option allocates 100% of the possible points for correctly responding to each response box and zero points if one or more responses are incorrect.
Select Partial Match to score each correct response individually. The total question score is divided across responses. If the Scoring Type is set to Partial Match, the formula for scoring the question is:
(Value of the percentage field/the number of response boxes) * (the number of selected correct responses) = partial match value
The Partial match value does not represent the number of points the response will receive, but the percentage of the total possible points.
The calculation always uses 100% from the main correct answer—not the alternate answers.
Example:
If there are four possible correct responses, and a student has three correct responses and one incorrect response, the value produced by the formula would be 75. (100 percent / 4 possible correct responses) * (3 correct responses) = 75(%). If the question is worth 10 points, the student would receive 7.5 points, because 75% of 10 is 7.5. To penalize the student for the incorrect responses, refer to the Penalty score information.

Penalty score
When using Partial Match, you can subtract points for incorrect selections.
Set Penalty Score to 0 to ignore wrong answers.
Set it to 100 to weigh incorrect answers the same as correct ones.
The formula for scoring a question with a Penalty Score is:
[Partial match value] - [(Penalty/ the number of response boxes) * (the number of selected incorrect responses)]
The penalty formula, like the partial match formula, produces a relative percentage, not a point value.
The penalty is applied by dividing the penalty score by the total number of response boxes to determine the percentage deducted per incorrect response.
For example, using the previous scenario with a Penalty Score of 20:
Penalty per response: 20/4 response boxes = 5%
One incorrect response results in a 5% deduction
Final score: 75% - 5% = 70%
If the question is worth 10 points, the student receives 70% of 10, or 7 points.
