10 questions => 0 points when more than 5 wrong answers

One of our teachers does the following on paper and wants to keep this strategy for his new digital quiz.

A students is presented a set of 10 short answer questions. If the students gives 5 (or more) blank or incorrect answers, he receives 0 as a grade for this set. Otherwise if he gives 10 correct answers the maximal grade is 5.

Has anyone an idea if this is feasible in the current moodle, or if there is a usefull workaround?


Cheers
Hiram

I don't think you can do this just in the quiz,

But, I think you can do this by having a quiz graded out of 10 in the normal way. Then, in the gradebook, use a calculation like new grade = quiz grade - 5. Include new grade in the course total, not quiz grade.

Indeed Tim

I was thinking about this as a solution but this implies the exam should consist of more than one quiz.
Thanks for the reply
