What does the 'Accuracy' result mean?

Hi,

I created a test exercise - all done with scored click boxes, etc. - and when I tested it, I got an "accuracy" rating of 22%, although I had all the answers right.

Can anyone tell me what this rating means?  Thanks...

Normally Accuracy is the score in percentage. So if you create a quiz with Total point = 40, the Score will give you the result in points, p.e. 36 (out of 40) and the Accuracy returns the calculated percentage (in this example 90%). Up till now I never had problems with this result, but I always publish to a LMS and have been checking the individual results on the different questions. I even prefer to report the Percentage (in this case, Accuracy) to the LMS. I do not know exactly what happened with you. How did you test? Was it after publishing?

Thank you, Lilibiri! That solved it.

I had tested it in "Preview" mode.  When I tested it after publishing to the LMS, the percentage was correct.  (And I spotted a score mistakenly assigned to a "Continue" button!)  All is well

Thank you again.
