Hi All,

I noticed that you can have a item in QN worth a negative point value. In what use case would an instructor want to have points deducted for a correct answer?

Thanks!

Hi  @benjamin_rodrig .  Good question!  I suppose that if someone wanted to create a questionnaire where some items were reverse coded this may be useful.  I know that for some questionnaires I have seen, you may get various levels of positive or negative points for responses, so your composite score represents the balance between these items.  Other than that, all I can figure is that maybe in some fields there are licensing exams that take points away from incorrect answers so this may be possible so tests can mirror these?
