• Hello,

    In the result page of a quiz, one of the available variables is %MAXIMUM_POINTS%.

    Is it possible for the devs to add a new one : %MINIMUM_POINTS% ?

    I guess this could be achieved without effort.

    Here is why it could be useful :

    Consider the case of a quiz with multiple choice questions. For example, 10 questions and 5 possible answers for each. Among answers some are correct and give 1 pt, the others are invalid and give -1 pt. It the user is free to select OR NOT any answer, his score for each particular answer will be -1, 0 or 1 (and 0 if and only if the answer remains unchecked).

    Now, the final score S lies between -I and V where I denotes the number of invalid answers and V denotes the number of valid ones.

    If I want to calculate a final mark M, say between 0 and 10, I can use the formula :

    M = (S + I) * 10 / (V + I)

    Currently I have access to V through the variable %MAXIMUM_POINTS%, and I would like to gain access to -I through a new variable, which could be named %MINIMUM_POINTS%.

    I hope that my explanations are clear enough.

    Thank you for your time

    Adren.
