For item types that have multiple correct choices, you can set up partial scoring. These item types support partial scoring: choice, gap match, graphic gap match, hot spot, hot text, inline choice, match, tabular match and associate. 

Partial Scoring for Choice Items 

The following instructions are for setting up partial scoring for a choice item, but the same principles apply for other item types.  

To set up partial scoring: 

  1. In the Edit mode for a choice item, in the Settings section enter a number in Max Choices greater than 1 to allow the section of multiple correct answers. You can optionally change the messages student will receive 

  2. Under Scoring Settings, select Partial Scoring. 
  3. Complete the partial scoring to show the points for each correct answer.  If you want these items to have the same weight as other items on an assessment that are worth one point, you may wish to make the values add up to one point if all correct answers are selected. For example:

    • If there are two correct responses, each is worth .5 points.
    • If there are three correct responses, the first two are worth .33 and the last is worth .34 points. 
    • If there are four correct responses, all are worth .25 points.



  4. After the partial points have been entered, click Save.
  5. Click the Preview tab.
  6. Select each correct answer checking the points to make sure that the points are correct and then all the correct answers to make sure that the item total score is as expected; modify as needed by returning to the Editor tab.
