Can you display the percentage of an assessment e.g. I have an exam and I'd like to show the percentage scored the end of the exam.

Currently I can only find {TOTAL} and {PERC} but I can't calculate a percentage.

Is it possible to calculate a percentage?

You can use Expression Manager to create the "score". I think you'll find it fsr more powerful than the old assessments.

Hi Tony

Thanks for your reply about Assessments - I've had a close look but I'm still having a problem displaying a percentage.

I've tried using the following in the Assessment rule at Scope = Total Level

Total score: {TOTAL}
<This provides a simple sum of all the scores in the Assessment field which is fine, but what I'd like to do is provide the user with a percentage as below [this is pseudocode as I can't find out how to create a percentage score]>

Percentage:   ( {TOTAL} / NumberOfQuestions) * 100

I've also used the {PERC} assuming that would return a percentage but again that just returns the sum of all the Assessment values.

Any further hep would be much appreciated.

As I said, I would not use assessments but would use Expression Manager.

1) For every "scorable" question, create a hidden equation question to store that question score. Something like:
2) Then, you can display a score percentage something like:

Thanks for posting this sample...really helps me learn how Equation Questions work!!

What if I want to have in first question q1 two scored answers?
A1 = 5 (5 points of total score)
A2= 2 (2 points of total score) ?

{if(q1 == 'A1', 5, 0)}
{if(q1 == 'A2', 2, 0)}

Doesn't work

There is no way for us to diagnose that with so little information.

My guess is incorrect question and/or answer codes.

just for information, in the next LS major release the assessments page will be easy to customise from any template (even the calculation of scores):

github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/de...ews/assessments.twig

I have question:
How often do you brush your teeth?
a) 3 or times a day
b) 2 times a day
c) 1 or less

For answer a) I want 5 points, b) 3 points, c) 0


Hidden equation question {if(q1 == 'A1', 5, 3, 0)} doesn't work...
How can I solve this problem?

You will need to use nested IF statements:

Thanks Tony! Works GREAT!!!
