You only need to set up scoring when you create a custom Qualtrics quiz and write your own original question(s).  If your custom quiz consists of a combination of ONLY questions from the PSLO quizzes, then you do no not need to set up scoring.
 

If you have written original questions, follow the steps below to set up scoring.

1. Go to survey options on the left side of the page and click on scoring.
2. You will see all of the questions that appear on your quiz. If you have included any questions from PSLO quizzes, they will already have the scoring assigned. (Most of the PSLO questions are multiple choice with one correct answer. They will have a 1 in the box to the left of the correct answer.) You do not need to make changes to any PSLO question scoring values.
3. You will need to enter a value for the correct answers for your original questions. Look at each question individually and identify how many correct answers there are. The value you assign to the correct answer(s) is 1 divided by the number of correct answers in decimal format. For example, if you write an original question and there is one correct answer, 1/1 = 1. You will enter 1 in the box to the left of the correct answer. If you write an original question and there are two correct answers, 1/2=0.5. You will enter 0.5 in the boxes to the left of each of the two correct answers.
4. Do not enter anything into the boxes that correspond to incorrect answers.
5. When you are finished editing the scoring, click on back to editor near the top left corner.
6. Use the preview feature to test your quiz.

How to determine the quiz score

Look for the following columns. These columns are some of the last columns in the spreadsheet.

• Score
• PSLOs_pct

Score represents the total number of questions answered correctly. Score counts both PSLO quiz questions and any original questions you wrote for the custom quiz. Instead of giving the score as a percentage of 100 or less, each question can receive up to 1 point. If there are 4 questions on your quiz and the student answered all 4 correctly, the score will show 4. If the student answered 3 questions correctly, then the score will show 3. If the quiz includes any questions that have multiple correct answers then scores may include decimals.

PSLOs_pct represents the percent of PSLO questions answered correctly. If the custom quiz only includes PSLO questions, then this is also the grade for the total quiz. If the custom quiz includes both PSLO quiz questions and original questions, then this number is not equal to the quiz grade.
