How to Add Point Value to Google Form?
Google Forms offer a convenient way to create surveys, quizzes, and questionnaires, but many users may be unaware that you can assign point values to questions. By assigning point values, you can easily create quizzes and assessments that automatically calculate scores for respondents. Here’s how you can add point values to Google Forms:
1. **Create a New Form:** First, log in to your Google account and open Google Forms. Click on the “+” button to create a new form or open an existing form that you want to add point values to.
2. **Add Questions:** Create your quiz or assessment by adding questions to the form. You can include multiple-choice questions, short answer questions, checkboxes, and more.
3. **Click on the Three Dots:** Next to each question, you will see three vertical dots. Click on these dots to access the options for that question.
4. **Select “Answer Key”:** In the dropdown menu that appears when you click on the three dots, select “Answer Key.” This will allow you to set the correct answer for the question and assign point values.
5. **Assign Point Values:** After selecting “Answer Key,” you can now assign point values to the question. Enter the number of points you want to award for each correct answer.
6. **Choose Correct Answer:** Select the correct answer for the question by checking the box next to the correct option. If the question is a short answer question, you can manually mark responses as correct when reviewing submissions.
7. **Repeat for Each Question:** Follow steps 3-6 for each question in your form that you want to assign point values to.
8. **View Responses:** Once respondents complete the form, you can view their responses and see the total points they earned based on the point values you assigned to each question.
9. **Analyze Results:** Google Forms will automatically calculate the total points earned by each respondent. You can use this information to analyze responses and assess how well respondents performed on the quiz or assessment.
10. **Share Results:** You can share the results of the quiz or assessment with respondents, allowing them to see their scores and correct answers.
