What Is a Graded Quiz?

A graded quiz is an assessment where each question carries a predefined score, and learners receive a final grade or percentage based on their answers. It helps measure knowledge, track progress, and evaluate performance objectively. Graded quizzes often include automatic scoring for multiple-choice, true/false, or fill-in-the-blank questions. They’re commonly used in training, certification, and learning programs.

Types of Grading Methods for Quizzes

Grade quizzes your way
Regular Grading

Regular grading is the simplest way to grade quizzes. It only gives points to learners who choose all the correct options and none of the wrong ones.

Partial Grading

Partial grading is a flexible grading method. It gives partial points to learners for choosing the correct options and not choosing the incorrect ones. You can use it in checkbox, matching, and fill-in-the-blank questions.

Custom Grading

Custom grading offers complete control over the grading process. It lets you assign different points to each answer option in a multiple-response question, ensuring a precise assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I assign different point values to each question?

Yes. In ProProfs Quiz Maker, you can assign custom point values to individual questions. Simply go to Settings > Scoring > Manage Point Assignment and enter the desired score for each question based on its difficulty or importance.

How does partial grading work in a quiz?

Partial grading awards points for partially correct answers. For example, if a question has multiple correct options and the learner selects some of them, they’ll receive a portion of the total score. This is ideal for checkbox or matching-type questions.

Can I manually grade essays or long-answer questions?

Absolutely. Essay-type questions and open responses are graded manually in ProProfs Quiz Maker. After a learner submits the quiz, you can review their answers and assign scores based on custom criteria.

Is negative marking supported in graded quizzes?

Yes, you can enable negative marking to deduct points for incorrect answers. This helps discourage guessing and encourages thoughtful responses. It works with regular and partial grading modes.

Can I combine objective and subjective questions in one quiz?

Yes. You can mix multiple-choice, checkbox, fill-in-the-blank, and essay questions in a single quiz. Objective questions are auto-graded, while subjective ones can be manually reviewed. You can choose from 20+ question types on ProProfs Quiz Maker.

Can learners see their scores right after completing the quiz?

Yes. You can enable instant feedback and score display at the end of the quiz. You also have the option to customize what learners see, like their total score, correct answers, and detailed explanations.
