Multiple question type
Multiple question is the duestion of the closed type that contain an unlimited number of answer options and several answer options are correct.
While testing, the user can select either one or more answer variants as correct answers.
Scoring for an answer can be done in two ways:
- By formula - the result is calculated based on a formula (more details in calculation of results for a multiple-choice question);
- All or nothing - the result is unsatisfactory if at least one mistake was made.
When using the Formula scoring method, points may be awarded in part, depending on the number of correctly selected options. When choosing the All or Nothing method - the user receives the maximum score specified in the question parameter Question Weight, only if all correct answer options and no incorrect ones are selected.
In the Answers number that could be selected field, a number is automatically set equal to the number of correct answers. But this number can be changed: it cannot be less than the number of correct answers and greater than the number of all answers to the question.
