My Partial scoring is not working in captivate 8. When I assign points to each answer, it automatically converts it back to 0 points.

The question is

The business service is generic and similar to many organisations in the industry.

a) True

b) Somewhat True

c) False

I want to assign3 points for true, 2 for Somewhat True and 1 point for False.

I am going to advanced options and trying to assign individual score. but it is not working.

    captivate 2017:

    i have mcq. three answers, only one can be selected with one radio button with dot inside

    three answers, each with their different points

    i am puzzled what is Scored Survey, and, Graded Survey

    I think Partial Scoring is out

    maybe i have to design from scratch from blank slide? thank you gurus

    What is the link with the original question in this thread please?

    Partial scoring has only sense for a MCQ question with multiple correct answers.

    A Survey is never Graded.

    Maybe I am wrong, but I suspect you misunderstand meaning of partial

    scoring. It is not meant for MCQ with 1 correct answer, but for multiple

    correct answers. If you mark all answers as correct - total score would be

    321=6 points.

    You want a scored survey?

    Thank you for the response.

    I know partial scoring is not for one correct answer. In my query, there is no right or wrong answer, but scoring is given to help them chose right model for solution at the end the quiz. Hence a series of questions are asked and scores are assigned to choices. Hence I selected partial score option which seems to be not working. Even after assigning scores to choices/answers it reverts back either to zero or it gives same score to all the choices.

    I want to assign 3 points for True, 2 point for Somewhat True and 1 point for False. But it is not taking different scored for different choices. I need help here.

    Oh no! This is not design fault, wonder why Help is telling that. I have

    been a professor for a long time, and what you want is not partial scoring

    but alternative scoring which is not available out of the box with

    Captivate. It can be done only with workarounds: JS, my proposition in the

    article I mentioned, and could propose some more.

    But OK, if you do not believe me, that is your right. I just wanted to help

    and will now leave you alone


    Sorry Lilybiri. My intentions are not that. Since it seemed to work once and didnt work next time, i took it to Adobe help. They have registered my complaint and taken it to Product team. I am not sure if they can help me. But please do tell me how to configure alternative scorning so that I can move ahead in this project.

    I tried reading your blogs last night and look for it. But could not get one. Can please let me know how to get this resolved?

    Many thanks for all your replies so far.
