Description

I don't know if this is use case would be widespread, so please take this for what it's worth.

Our potential application of quiz module is for consumer facing quizzes a la popular magazines ("What's Your ___ IQ? Take Our Test!" or "Are You Psychotic?"). Rather than a single right answer, there would be scores or points for each alternative, and rather than a single pass-fail break, ranges of total scores like 75-90 points.

Maybe this could fit inside the current framework:
- for each quiz, a new field for the # of points a question is worth
- for each question, an answer is either right (100%), wrong (0%), or partial. If partial, user assigns a % which, when graded, is multiplied by the points the question is worth.

Thanks for the work on this, you can see the potential even now!

no progress, to be honest this is low priority compared to a full release of quiz 2.0 and quiz for drupal 6. So it may be some time before this is filled. The best solution for this would be for someone else to step up and take this on... I have increasingly less and less time for the quiz module support let alone maintaining the module, and desperately need co-maintainers to help out with so we can get in cool stuff like partial credit, but at the moment, its just not possible due to time constraints...
