Full credit for a question with multiple correct answers | XM Community
Skip to main content

I have a survey question with multiple correct answers (e.g., there are 4 response options but only 3 of them are correct). The question is worth 1 point. I want to give full credit only if they get all 3 options right, so they get a 1 or 0 pt. Is there a way to do this in Qualtrics? Thanks.

You can use an embedded variable to keep the score of the particular question. In the survey flow, add a branch logic to trigger only when all three correct choices are selected. Something like this:

Thank you for your response. I am able to create a branch logic but not sure how to set embedded data-in your example, how did you create awsome_que_score? Also, do I need to change the scoring setting for this question? If so, what do I put next to each response option or do I leave it blank? Thanks.


When you click on add a new element here, you'll get an option to create an embedded data field. Read here. This kind of custom scoring won't be possible. Here's how I recommend going about it:

  1. Remove this question from scoring. You can either gray it out in the scoring section or assign 0 to all the options. Keep scoring of all other questions the same.

  2. Create and embedded variable with the branch logic as shown above and details on the link.

  3. Add the score and the awsome_que_score to the calculated score and store it in a variable like
    final score
    , in the Data and Analysis section called (see here).

  4. This will the actual score of the respondents.
