Question: Right answer/Response help

SURVEYWin also gives you the option to choose one of your responses to be the correct answer. This is very helpful in computer testing environments because it gives your users immediate feedback during the testing process. If the user does not select t he correct answer while they are taking your survey, a window will appear telling them what the correct answer is, and if you want, additional text for explanation.

Setting up Right Answer/Response help

1. In the Form Design window, click on the question for which you want to set a correct answer.
2. Select Questions | Right answer/Response help.
3. In the upper left corner of the screen, select the response that you want to set as the right answer.
4. In the upper right corner, give point values for each individual response (right, wrong, and blank).

Note: novices are able to write standard or self-instructional tests using these features.

Score totaling

SURVEYWin has a set of reserved fieldnames that are used to store the score on a test. You can access these fieldnames as you would any other fieldname, including question scripting (see previous page). You may not write data directly to these, since t hey will be overwritten when the score is calculated.

To access these questions from Analysis, you need to make sure that there is a question somewhere on a page that has these questions as a fieldname. To do this:

1. Select Question | Create new question.
2. Enter some text for the question, select Next and then write-in number in the Select question type window.
3. Here, you can set some options, such as read-only, which would be useful to prevent students from temporarily changing their score.
4. Click Finish, then change the default question name to ScoreRight, ScoreWrong, ScoreBlank, or ScoreTotal. SURVEYWin will automatically calculate totals and store the values in these.
5. If you want to use the reserved fieldnames in Analysis, but do not want the user to see it in the form itself:
1. Create a new, blank page.
2. Place the questions you created with the reserved fieldnames to that page, then save the page.
3. Select Page | Rearrange Pages, and send the page you just created to the left-hand side.
