Marking schemes
Marking is configured on each section, and any question can override it. Two schemes, three numbers — that combination covers everything from a school quiz to a JEE mock.
standard
- Fully correct → +correct
- Anything else → −negative
- Unanswered → 0, always. Negative marking punishes wrong answers, never silence.
jee_partial (for multi-correct MCQs)
With {"correct": 4, "per_correct": 1, "negative": 2}:
| Student selects | Correct answer a,c | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| a, c | all correct | +4 |
| a | clean subset | +1 (1 × per_correct) |
| a, b | any wrong option | −2 |
| nothing | unanswered | 0 |
Single-correct, integer, numeric, true/false and fill-blank questions grade full-or-negative under either scheme.
Where marks come from
numericaccepts a tolerance:{"value": 9.8, "tolerance": 0.1}— and alternative keys or ranges viaaccepted_values(see JSON import).fill_blankaccepts any listed answer, case- and spacing-insensitive, in any language the question carries.long_answeris marked by you (or your agent) against the rubric; marks clamp between −negative and the question's maximum.
Published tests grade against a frozen copy of every question — editing the bank later never changes how a live test scores.
