I have a faculty member that has an essay test in Moodle 1.9 that consists of 7 total questions; however, one only needs to answer 5 of the 7 questions. This instructor wants each of the 5 questions to be worth 20-points each for a total score of 100-points (as the quiz sits now, the quiz is worth 140-points [7 x 20], and the quiz total is manually adjusted).
Does anyone know how to set this up differently? No random questions as each student must answer 5 from a quiz of 7.
Thanks!
There might be other approaches, but here is what I would do (as a start).
1) When you add your seven question, make each worth 20 points. Make the total worth 100 points.
2) In the gradebook, edit the item and give it a multiplier of 7/5, or 1.4.
Now, my "test" student takes the exam and get 2 out of 5 correct. Although the quiz reports 40/140 or 28%, the gradebook shows 40 out of 100.
More than a yeat ago I already gave a solution (similar to the one given by Rick Jerz) in this discussion:
Attempt any x out of y questions.

@Ravi: that's exactly the reference I gave in my post.

Yes, he should have explained that there was an error in your link - two 'moodle.org's.

Thanks to all that replied. This has been most helpful and I will add a link to this thread in our online "Instructor Lounge".
Thanks again!
