Multiple choice question

Field / Button	Explanations	Conditions
Example	When marking, an example is displayed to the task solver: a content block with the answer is shown, the answer cannot be modified, and no points are awarded for this answer.	Checkbox. By default, it is hidden and will appear when clicking the 'More data' link.
Initially invisible	When enabled, it allows the content block to be hidden when opening the task and revealed based on the user's next action.	Checkbox. By default, it is hidden and will appear when clicking the 'More data' link.
Points shall be rounded within the block	When marking, the points awarded to the solver are rounded to the nearest whole number.	Checkbox. By default, it is hidden and will appear when clicking the 'More data' link.
Do not color incorrect/correct responses	By default, in solved and graded tasks, answers that received the maximum points are displayed with a green border, while other answers are displayed with a red border. If this checkbox is selected, no colored border is displayed around the answers. This is used for questions where determining the correctness of an answer's color is too complex.	Checkbox. By default, it is hidden and will appear when clicking the 'More data' link.
The minimum number of selections	The minimum number of choices makes the specified number of answers mandatory if the task's Additional Options page has the setting enabled to disallow incomplete submissions. Until the minimum number of selections is made, the solver will not see the button to confirm their answer or proceed to the next question.	Numeric field.
The maximum number of selections	The entered number specifies how many options the solver can select at most from the available choices. If the maximum number of selections is set to 1, radio buttons will be displayed for the solver, allowing only one selection. In all other cases, checkboxes will be used. If the field is left empty, the solver can select all available options.	Numeric field.
Entering responses (p-test)	Options: By select field, By check boxes This is used when the task appears in a paper-based test, and the results need to be entered into Examodo.	Dropdown menu.
Options	A block for entering choices.
Shuffle choices	If marked, then choices will be displayed in a different order each time the solver opens the task.	Checkbox.
Add	When the button is pressed, a row with text fields will be added. Rich text - Checkbox. When checked, it allows the use of colorful text features while entering draggable text options. This feature is applied after saving. Locking the toolbar - Checkbox. Appears only when "Rich Text" is enabled. When checked, the colorful text toolbar locks to the top of the window and remains visible while scrolling. ID - A unique identifier for the option. Examodo assigns this automatically, but the task creator can modify it. IDs must not be duplicated. Title - A field for adding the text of the option. Explanation - A field to provide additional details about the option. Mandatory Questions – Text Field. If the "Incomplete answers cannot be submitted" option is checked on the task content page, an additional column will appear for each choice on the multiple-choice question page. This field allows entering the ID of another question in the same task, which will become mandatory if the solver selects that particular choice. It is possible to make open-text questions, multiple-choice questions, and text-selection questions mandatory. However, it only makes sense to enter the codes of questions that are not mandatory by default in the mandatory questions field. Hide Content Blocks – Text Field. When a choice is made, the content blocks of the task specified here will be hidden from the solver. The content block should be written in the format `sp-N`, where `N` is the identifier of the content block. For example, if the identifier of the content block is 1, then `sp-1`. When entering multiple content blocks, use a comma as the separator. Show Content Blocks – Text Field. When a choice is made, the content blocks of the task specified here will be displayed to the solver (these must be previously marked as “Initially Invisible”). The content block should be written in the format `sp-N`, where `N` is the identifier of the content block. For example, if the identifier of the content block is 1, then `sp-1`. When entering multiple content blocks, use a comma as the Delete - icon. Click to remove the row.	Button.
Generate explanations	When pressed, the text entered as an explanation for the answer or selection will be copied into the explanation column of the answers or options input table. If an explanation was previously entered, it will be overwritten.	Button.

Field / Button	Explanations	Conditions
Item ID	The question ID must be unique within the task. When creating a new question, the system automatically suggests a default ID value, but the task creator can change it. If there are many questions in the task, it is recommended to rename the question IDs in a way that reflects the content or location of the question in the task. This reduces the risk of confusion between questions and their assessment matrices for the creator.	Text field. Mandatory.
Explanation	The task creator can add an explanation for the question.	Text field.
Minimum points of item	The minimum points value indicates the lowest possible number of points that can be awarded for a given question. In some cases, a question may have multiple answers. First, the corresponding number of points is determined for each answer, then the points are summed. If the total points are less than the minimum points value, the solver is awarded the minimum points.	Numeric field.
Maximum points of item	The number indicates the maximum possible points that can be awarded for a given question. If the assessment matrix has already been saved, the calculated maximum points value, based on the system's calculations, will be shown in parentheses after the maximum points input field. The system calculates the maximum points based on the answers and their respective points in the assessment matrix. The calculated maximum points may be greater than or equal to the maximum points set for the question.	Numeric field.
Default points given for response, which does not match matrix	The default points value is the number of points awarded to all answers that do not have a row in the assessment matrix. For example, if all correct answers are included in the assessment matrix, default points are given to incorrect answers. By default, the default points are 0.	Numeric field.
The number of responses excessed gives minimum points	This applies only to questions where the solver can provide multiple answers. Example: If the value of this field is 3 and the solver gives a total of 5 answers, the minimum points will be awarded regardless of whether the answers were correct or not.	Numeric field.
The least number of correct responses allowed	This applies only to questions where the solver can provide multiple answers. Example: If the value of this field is 3 and the solver gives a total of 2 answers, the minimum points will be awarded even if the answers provided were correct.	Numeric field.
A question used to determine the correctness of an answer	From the list, you can select the question ID with which the response to this content block's specific question will be evaluated. When making a selection, it is important to consider that this question must be computer-evaluable (it can receive 0 points), and points for this response will be assigned based on the evaluation of another question's response within the same task content block (either by the computer or a human).	Drop-down menu.
Do not count response for results	When selected, the points awarded for this question are not included in the solver's total test score. This is used, for example, when the task points are determined by a calculated value in the content block. In tests where the total points are not counted and instead the result is displayed by individual indicators, the question will not be shown in the result view.	Checkbox.
Computer-markable	Indicates whether the question is computer-assessable or not. When creating a new question, it is by default set as computer-assessable unless it is an open text input content block.	This content block is only computer-assessable.
Add	Adds a row to the assessment matrix. The assessment matrix is a table where each row corresponds to a possible answer and indicates how many points are awarded for that answer. A row in the assessment matrix consists of the answer and the evaluation of that answer. The row contains the following fields:	Button.
Order	Serial number, automatically filled by Examodo.
Response	In the dropdown menu, all entered options are displayed, and the appropriate one must be selected.	Drop-down menu. Mandatory.
Condition	If a condition is described, the score for the answer listed in the assessment matrix will only be counted if the condition is met, i.e., the condition's truth value is true. The condition is described as a Python formula, which may depend on the answers to other questions.	Text field.
Points	The assessment points awarded for a given answer. Points are given as real numbers, can include decimal places, and can be positive, negative, or zero. A row with 0 points in the assessment matrix may be necessary if a hit counter is used and you want the answer to be recorded in the counter. Negative points can be given for incorrect answers. For rows marked as "Correct," the points field may be left blank (in which case 1 point is counted).	Numeric field. Mandatory.
Correct	A checkbox. Checking this box means that if no value is entered in the points field, the solver will receive 1 point for the given answer. If the solver is allowed to view the correct answer, marking this checkbox indicates that the row is the correct answer.	Checkbox.
Match counter	The hit counter field where the counter name can be entered (the name can include letters, numbers, and underscores, and the first symbol cannot be a number). The counter allows grouping of answers, even across different content blocks (the counter applies within the task). If a counter name is entered, the system will count all answers that match the specific row and can be used in the formula of a calculated value content block.	Text field.
