By default, the Response Assessment module (RAM) gives an attester's response one mark for each right answer. All other answers are considered incorrect and given zero. However, RAM lets you add weight to questions, answers, or both. You use the Weight Wizard tool to add or adjust the weights.

With weighted questions, only one answer is correct, but different questions are worth different amounts. When you create a question, you can assign a weight to the question to each of the answers. You estimate the weight of the question or each answer. You should use the standards and best practices of your organization as a guide when you assign the weights. The results of the weights are displayed in the Report Wizard. Only single-choice or multiple-choice questions can have a different weight applied. If you change the weight of a multiple-choice question, the answer with the highest severity is reported in the Report Wizard.

Text or memo questions are always disabled and have a weight value of zero. All user-defined questions are disabled and have a weight of zero, by default. You can disable the weights of a question, if necessary.

To use the quizzing feature of RAM, you must assign the weight of each answer.

You can assign a different weight to each answer. You can have only one correct answer, but you can give partial points for other answers. All user-defined answers are disabled and have a weight value of zero, by default.

You can modify the weight of an answer using the Weight Wizard. You can increase or decrease the weight to reflect your organization's standards. You can disable the weight of an answer. The Report Wizard ranks results by weight.
