Have you ever created a test where some questions were simply more important than others? Perhaps a single-sentence response question you intended as a quick check for understanding, and a more complex, multi-paragraph essay question that required a deeper analysis.
Or have you decided after the test that some questions need to be removed? Or correct the answer key and you need to recalculate scores?
With our latest update, you can now assign specific weights to each question on your tests, allowing you to create more nuanced and accurate assessments.
What’s New?
You now have the power to define the value of every question. When you’re editing your test, you can set the weight for each question, for example:
- Multiple-choice questions worth 1 point.
- Short answer questions worth 5 points.
- An essay question worth 20 points.
Our new scoring system will automatically calculate the final score for each student based on the weights you set.
The Power of Re-Scoring
But what if you decide to change the weights after students have already taken the test? This is where the magic happens.
With the click of a single button, you can now re-score an entire class. Our new and improved algorithm will re-calculate every student’s grade, taking into account:
- Updated Question Weights: If you change a question’s value, the scores will be instantly updated.
- Answer Key Corrections: Did you find a mistake in the answer key? Correct it, and every student’s score will be recalculated.
- Changes in Question Count: If you add or delete questions, the system will adjust the final score accordingly.
And it’s fast. This new re-scoring capability is built on a highly optimized system that can process hundreds of students and questions in a fraction of the time. We’ve even addressed edge cases, such as students who have had their old answers automatically archived, to ensure accurate and reliable results every time.
Our goal is to give you more flexibility and control over your assessments, so you can focus on teaching. Try out the new weighted questions feature today and see the difference.
