I'd like it to return the value, if possible?</p> <p>David </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/use-gf-for-self-assessment-type-quiz#post-19959 Fri, 04 Mar 2011 18:56:37 +0000 Carl Hancock 19959@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Not without custom code. Scoring/Grading isn't currently a built in feature. You would have to write custom code to handle this and then store the score/etc. in a hidden field after doing the calculation. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/use-gf-for-self-assessment-type-quiz#post-19956 Fri, 04 Mar 2011 18:40:12 +0000 DrDavid 19956@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'd like to create a quiz where each 'answer' is worth a certain amount of points. So, basically something like:</p> <p>Q1<br /> Answer 'A' = 3 points<br /> Answer 'B' = 2 points</p> <p>etc..</p> <p>Then, on submission, the forms notification screen shows that they got 'x' points (add up each question's value) and show something like, "if you got 0-5 points, you're this, 6-9 you're that, etc.."</p> <p>Is there any way to make GF do this? :)</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>David </p>
