The creation of the question involves choosing from various scoring methods. To define the scoring method, follow the instructions below:
Enable the Show more settings option.
Open the drop-down menu under the Scoring method section and choose from the following options:
- Defining correct/incorrect answers – Only one answer can be marked as correct.
- By answer weight – Specify the points each answer will carry.
- Manual grading – Questions should be graded manually by a test manager or instructor after completing the test.

For advanced question setup, assign difficulty labels to questions to prepare for the Test generator and enhance filtration. Adjust appearance levels in randomly generated tests by specifying the frequency factor.
To define the question difficulty, open the drop-down menu under the Difficulty section and select one of the offered values:
- Easy.
- Medium.
- Hard.
To define the frequency of the question appearing in the test, open the drop-down menu under the Frequency section and select one of the proposed values: Never, Rarely, Normal, Often, Always.
