​
Partial credit mode (optional)

Points proportional to correctness:
  • 3 of 3 correct = 100%
  • 2 of 3 correct = 66%
  • 1 of 3 correct = 33%
  • Wrong answer = penalty

​
Best practices

Hint in question: State how many answers are correct, e.g., “Select 3 correct answers” - it’s fair to participants.

​
Question content

  • Clearly indicate multiple answers allowed
  • State number of correct answers (optionally)
  • Avoid “select all correct” without indicating how many

​
Answers

  • Minimum 2 correct answers
  • Ratio: ~50% correct (e.g., 3 of 6)
  • Incorrect answers should be plausible

​
Example

Question: Which of the following are official UN languages? (select 4) ☑ English ✓ ☐ German ☑ French ✓ ☑ Chinese ✓ ☐ Japanese ☑ Spanish ✓
