Captivate 2017 Quiz Partial Scoring

Hi Guys,

 

I am currently working on a Quiz in Captivate 2017 that has MC and T/F Question Slides that pulls random questions from 8 question pools. My problem is on the MC slides there are partial answers. I know by default there is a variable that talks about enabling partial scoring and it is set to 0. What can I do to enable scoring on these slides ? I also have partial correct hint messages but they will not appear until partial scoring is enabled. This is causing some issues with my upper management as a partial score does not bring up any hints like they do for correct or incorrect answers. I have been trying to fix this for weeks and I am coming up on a deadline. I have been searching and all I ever find is how to do this in older versions of captivate but I cannot find the setting in 2017.

 

Also my GIFT File looks like

::question

{

     ~%50% Answer A

     ~%50% Answer B

     ~%-50%Answer C

     ~%-50%Asnwer D

}

Correct answer Lilybiri

Partial scoring is impossible for random questions, never has been the case. All slides in the pool need to have the same score as well. Lot is impossible when using random questions which you can do in normal questions. GIFT import is possible but the partial scoring will be ignored.

Thank you Lily. As this is the case I will talk with my upper management and see what they would like to do from here. I also found one other comment from a post a few years ago saying that the captivate manual dictates that we cannot do partial credit on question pools right before you sent this. I am so glad we have amazing people who are willing to answer the questions that pop up. I wonder if they will ever add partial scoring to random questions and question pools in general.
