What is Question Weight?
Question weight is the number of marks that the student can be earn for answering the question correctly. By default, the question weight is set to one (1).
A question can be worth multiple marks, partial marks, or zero marks.
A question worth zero (0) marks will still be included in the results analysis, but will not affect a student’s mark/grade. This can be useful for survey questions, or to “remove” a question from a test.
