I want to implement negative marking scoring style, to my examination. For example for the right answer would get 4, the wrong answer -1, and no answering get 0.
I read several documentation, and has not found the way to implement that.
Hi @wowothk I’ve changed this to the Educators > Authoring category. It’s a good idea to pick the right category when posting, to get the right eyes on your question!

So, on one hand, you could probably do this for certain problem types using partial credit. For example, in a multiple-choice problem you could provide negative “partial” credit for all answers but the right one. Here are the docs for that. (I wrote the code for partial credit, but that was many years ago and I don’t actually remember if it checks to see whether there are negative point values or not.) The problem is already worth 0 points if they just skip it.
On the other hand - why not just award 0 points for the wrong answers, 1 point for an explicit “I don’t know” answer, and 5 points for the right one?
Hi, thank for your response. I consider to make a new custom XBlock, because it is more flexible. I was using the partial credit, but it is not fit to the use case.
