Hello, I am testing now all the Questions I can add to a test.
But I dont understand how the Numerically Question works.

Does somebody have a good explanation for this?
I dont understand it because the Points multiplicator and unit are a little bit confusing ^^"

The numerical question type works if you just ignore the units options and just work with plain numbers.

Docs are here: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Question_types#Numerical

Numerical question type will work a bit more reliably in Moodle 1.7.

With a text box, and the student can type a number like 3.14159 into the text box. That is, they look at lot like short answer questions, it is just the marking algorithm that is different.
