Question values won.t change
November 5, 2008 12:00 AM
I haven't seen any other posts about this topic, but I've now run into it twice in a week: I can't get the points value of questions to change (they visibly change, but don't change in the test score computation).Situation: There is a 5 question test at the end of a course, questions all worth 1 point. There are two quiz questions inside the course that were accidentally built to be worth 1 point. When I take the test and miss 1 question, I get an 86% (6/7) when I was expecting an 80% (4/5). I edited the two quiz questions to have their points value = 0, then retook the test, missed 1 on purpose, and still get an 86%. It scores to 100% correctly, but incorrectly scores less than that (4/5 = 86%, 3/5 = 71%). This does not affect the integrity of the test, but we'll certainly get flak about it from our users.The same thing happened last week with a 10 question test (Both courses were developed by others and I'm cleaning them up for publishing). In that case, I had to delete and rebuild two of the questions. I tried exporting to xml and reimporting with no changes. I hate to have to rebuild all the test questions. Anyone else seen this? Any ideas?
