How to Add Scores in Quizzes
Step 1: Create or Edit a Quiz

Step 2: Add Questions to the Quiz
- Click Add Question and choose a question type (Single Choice, Multiple Choice, Dropdown, etc.).
- Enter the question and possible answer choices.
- For each answer choice, assign a score value based on how much weight it carries.
Step 3: Assign Scores to Categories
-
Create score categories (e.g., Category A, Category B, etc.).
-
Assign scores to each answer:
- For Single Choice/Dropdown questions, assign a fixed score per answer.
- For Multiple Choice/Multi Dropdown, assign a score per option that adds up if multiple choices are selected.
-
Assign each answer’s score to the relevant category.
Step 4: Save and Preview
- Click Save Quiz once you’ve set up all questions and scoring.
- Use the Preview option to test the quiz and check if scores are calculated correctly.
How Quiz Scoring Works
Step 1: Set the Maximum Score for Each Question
Every question has a maximum score, which depends on its type:
- Single Choice/Dropdown: Only one answer can be selected, so the max score is fixed.
- Multiple Choice/Multi Dropdown: Multiple answers can be selected, so the max score is higher. The max score is fixed and it is the sum of all the options in the dropdown/multiple choice.
Example:
- A Single Choice question might have a max score of 10.
- A Multiple Choice question might allow up to 50 points.
Step 2: Assign Scores to Answers
When a quiz-taker selects an answer, it contributes to:
- Overall Score Only: Counts toward the total quiz score but not any specific category.
- Category-Specific Score: Counts toward both a specific category and the overall score.
- Multiple Categories: Affects more than one category at the same time.
Example:
- If a quiz has Category A, B, and C, and an answer is assigned to Category A, the score counts toward Category A and the Overall Score.
Step 3: Calculating the Final Score
Once all answers are selected, the final score is calculated using this formula:
Final Score = (Selected Score / Max Score) * 100
This is done separately for Overall Only and for each category.
Example Calculation
| Category | Selected Score | Max Score | Final % | Final Score Formula |
| Overall | 90 | 130 | 69.23% | Selected Score for Overall / Maximum Possible Score for Overall |
| Category A | 20 | 50 | 40.00% | Selected Score for Category A / Maximum Possible Score for Category A |
| Category B | 20 | 50 | 40.00% | Selected Score for Category B / Maximum Possible Score for Category B |
| Category C | 10 | 50 | 20.00% | Selected Score for Category C / Maximum Possible Score for Category C |
In this example:
- The quiz-taker scored 69.23% overall.
- For Category A, they scored 20 out of 50, resulting in 40%.
Key Takeaways About “Overall Only”
-
“Overall Only” is a Consolidated Score
- If an answer is assigned only to “Overall Only,” it doesn’t count towards any category.
- If an answer is assigned to both a category and “Overall Only,” it is counted in both.
-
Categories Are Independent but Contribute to the Overall Score
- Each category’s score is calculated separately, but the Overall Score is the sum of all category scores.
-
Formula Breakdown
- The Final Score Formula is calculated as:
Maximum Selected Score for X / Maximum possible score in each category - This applies across Overall, Category A, Category B, etc. to derive the percentage scores.
- The Final Score Formula is calculated as:
Add Dynamic Result Messages by Score Ranges
You can display different messages depending on a quiz taker’s score percentage.
Steps
- Go to the Result Page in the quiz builder.
- Define your score ranges (for example, Low: 0–40%, Medium: 41–70%, High: 71–100%).
- Add a custom message for each range.
- Optionally, add a CTA (subscribe, book a call, redirect to funnel, etc.).
Examples
- Low: “There’s room for improvement. Let’s explore how we can help.”
- Medium: “You’re on the right track. Here’s how to optimize further.”
- High: “Awesome job! You nailed this. Let’s talk about next steps.”
Best Practices
- Double-check category assignments if totals don’t add up.
- Remember: Overall Only answers do not affect categories.
- Always preview to confirm scoring accuracy.
