How Scored (Tally) Quizzes Work

A scored-style quiz works by tallying the points from the answers a quiz taker selects. The total score falls into a defined score range, which determines the result or outcome the quiz taker receives.

Every answer choice for each question has a point value, and the outcome is based on the total points accumulated as the quiz taker progresses.

Scored quizzes have two main settings: Questions and Results.


Setting Scores for Questions


Step 1: Click “Set Answer Scores” for a quiz question.

Step 2: Assign a point value to each answer choice according to your scoring system.

⚠️ Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for every question in your quiz.


Configuring Score Ranges for Results

Step 1: On the Results page, click “Score Ranges.”

Step 2: Define the score ranges that correspond to each result or outcome.

Displaying the Score on the Result Page

Step 1: Click on Settings on your quiz result page.

Step 2: Choose whether to display the quiz taker’s score.

💡 Tip: To show a score out of the total possible points, customize the Score Text. For example:

“Out of 12, you scored .”

Step 3: Then hit "Save."
