How Question Scoring Works in Assessments
Each question type in an assessment is scored differently, but all follow a common principle: the final score is calculated and then multiplied by the question’s assigned points.
Multiple Choice
Score = ((correct selected / total correct) − (wrong selected / total wrong)) × question points
This scoring method provides partial credit for correct answers while reducing the score for incorrect selections. It ensures that selecting all options does not result in a full score.
Single Choice
Score = (1 if correct answer is selected, otherwise 0) × question points
Only one answer is correct. The candidate receives full points only if the correct option is selected; otherwise, the score is zero.
Fill in the Blanks
Score = (correct blanks / total blanks) × question points
Each blank contributes equally to the final score. The final score depends on how many blanks are filled in correctly.
Open Text / Video
Score = (evaluation level value) × question points
Evaluation is based on a performance level:
Poor = 0
Fair = 0.25
Good = 0.75
Excellent = 1
Scoring can be done manually or using AI, depending on the assessment setup.
