 * I want to create a quiz that is a diagnostic and have it total up the sum of 
   the parts. For example:
 * Check each of the following actions you have done (1 point each):
 * A, B, C, D, E all listed as checkboxes.
 * The score is the sum of the boxes checked.
 * Is there a way to do this? I have assigned point values to each but it shows 
   as a zero or 1, even with the question weight is, say, 5.

 * Dear [@frazeedavid](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frazeedavid/),
 * Thank you for the topic.
 * As far as we understand, you want to assign half points to the quiz takers for
   the Checkbox question type in case they answer correctly to the question. 
 * If yes, then, in order to achieve your desired result, you can head to the **
   Quizzes > particular quiz > Results Settings tab** and **untick** the **Strong
   calculation of checkbox answers score** option.

 * This helps. This option weights all the subparts equally, even when the answer
   weights are different. Example:
 * A. answer weight is 1 point
 * B. answer weight is 1 point
 * C. answer weight is 1 point
 * D. answer weight is 3 points
 * Total question is worth 6 points. Clicking A and D calculates as 3/6 instead 
   of 4/6. Is there a way to have the answer weights calculate correctly?
 * I do not know if I should open a new thread, but my second question is how to
   award partial points for answers. For example, Total question is worth 10:
 * A. Best answer =10
 * B. Second best answer gets 7 points
 * C. Third best gets 4 points
 * D. Final answer gets 0
 * Can I set it up so that a user gets 0, 4, 7, or 10 depending on the answer chosen?
   A number of the kinds of questions I would like to ask have gradated answers.
   As it stands currently, it is a 10 or nothing even when the answer weights are
   set correctly.
