Our configuration recommendations

  • Reward

    • For simplicity, we recommend a Proportional Reward.

    • However, if you are dealing with critical subjects where it is crucial to have all the correct choices at the same time, we recommend All or Nothing.

  • Penalty

    • To prevent points from being awarded by chance, we recommend that the Penalty be Proportional to the Number of Incorrect Choices.

    • To be more lenient or more demanding, you can also choose to apply No Penalty or a Fixed Penalty.

Limits on Selectable Choices

It is possible to limit the number of choices that can be selected to answer MCQ questions.

If this option is enabled, "Select X correct choices" will be displayed on each question.

In a grading system without penalties, we want to avoid students earning full points by checking all options. If a student checks more options than allowed, no reward will be given for the correct choices selected.
