I have imported hundreds of questions from a question bank, but all of the questions have the "penalty for each incorrect try" set to 100%, which means I can't use the interactive with multiple tries option. Is there a way to changethe penalty for all the questions in the bank to say 20%.
Alternatively is there away to set this for a quiz so that it overrides the question settings?
Hello Mike,
Yes phpMyAdmin will work to do what you want. Penalties are in the (yourprefix)_question table (for most Moodle installations (yourprefix) is mdl if you didn't specify another prefix during Moodle's installation) in the penalty field. I suggest to only change it for questions where it is set to 100% using something like
UPDATE `mdl_question` SET `penalty`='0.3333333' WHERE `penalty`='1.0000000';
Of course change the 0.3333333 value to whatever you want.
Thanks Jean-Michel,
