    we want to create a quiz with two kind of questions: Multiple choice and open questions. We wonder how we can score the open questions? We would expect to have a manual score possibility in the result GUI but we could not find any. Could someone please elaborate on how to handle this.

    Hi Roland,

    Welcome to QSM Pro Support. Hope you are doing well.

    You can choose large open answer ‘question type’ for the open answers. And I don’t understand with manual scoring possibility. Do you want to manually give scores to user’s answers which are answered using large open answer? Right now QSM doesn’t support this feature and I don’t think this kind of functionality is present in any plugin.

    Regards,
    Kriti

    Hello Kriti,

    Thanks for your answer. I do mean scoring open answers, as it is nearly impossible to score these answers autoatically. That is why I would expect all answers that can’t be scored automatically that you can score them manually. We had this functionality in our previous Drupal plugin but as we are moving to WordPress we are looking for the same functionality.

    Regards,

    Roland

    Sorry Roland,

    This functionality is not present in the plugin right now.

    Open question scoring can definitely be tricky since most quiz plugins don’t provide automated grading for them. Usually, this requires manual review after submissions, or sometimes custom code to extend functionality.

    In the meantime, if you’re looking for helpful resources, guides, and tools, I share detailed pages on my site that cover different solutions and workarounds for these types of issues. You may find them useful for managing quizzes or even exploring alternative setups. Feel free to check them out and see if they help with your scoring challenge.

    Handling open question scoring requires clear evaluation criteria and consistency. Define specific benchmarks for accuracy, creativity, and relevance before assessing responses. Use rubrics to maintain fairness and reduce bias. Reviewing multiple answers together helps identify trends and ensure balanced scoring. At Luxury Car Dubai, precision and fairness are key — every detail matters, whether it’s evaluating cars or assessing open responses effectively.
