Answer Types

Single Correct Answer

Most common for multiple choice:

"What is the capital of France?"
Correct: Paris

Multiple Correct Answers

For "select all that apply" questions:

"Which are primary colors?" (select all)
Correct: Red, Blue, Yellow

Text Answer Matching

For fill-in-the-blank:

"The largest planet is ____"
Correct: "Jupiter" (case-sensitive)

Range Answers

For numeric questions:

"What year did WWII end?"
Correct: 1945 (accepts 1945 exactly)

Answer Validation Options

Text answers are case-sensitive. "Paris" and "paris" are treated as different answers. The system does not automatically recognize equivalent terms like "USA" and "America" as the same answer.

Accepting Multiple Valid Answers

For text-based questions where more than one answer should be accepted, enter all valid answers separated by commas in the correct answer field.

Correct Answer: USA, United States, America, US

Each comma-separated value is treated as a separate valid answer. A response matching any one of the listed values will be marked correct.

Matching is case-sensitive — if you want to accept both "Paris" and "paris", you must list both: Paris, paris, PARIS

Numeric Answers

For numeric questions, enter the exact correct value. The system checks for an exact match.

Correct Answer: 1945

Point Values

Equal Points

"Each question is worth 1 point"

Weighted Points

"Make difficult questions worth 2 points, easy ones 1 point"

Partial Credit

"Give partial credit for partially correct answers"

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have multiple correct answers?

Yes! For "select all that apply" questions, you can mark multiple options as correct.

Are text answers case-sensitive?

Yes, text matching is case-sensitive ("Paris" ≠ "paris"). To accept different capitalizations, list each variation separated by commas in the correct answer field (e.g., Paris, paris, PARIS).

Can I accept multiple spellings or synonyms?

Yes! Enter all accepted answers separated by commas in the correct answer field. For example: colour, color or USA, United States, America. The system does not automatically match synonyms, so you must list each variation explicitly.
