Converting auto-scored Questions to manually scored Questions
It is possible to make any auto-scored Question type a manually scored Question, using the 'Enable auto scoring' checkbox in the Question Editor. The box is checked by default in auto-scored Questions - just uncheck it if you want to manually grade the Question.
