How to add score to your online test?

When answers represent points, quantities or measurable values, reviewing them manually can slow down the next step. Porsline’s online quiz maker allows you to define calculations that turn selected answers into a final score or total.

This video explains how the Score variable, calculation rules and score-based Logic can work together.

What You Will Learn About Calculations

• Assign a different number of points to selected answers.
• Calculate a total from numerical answers or quantities.
• Use AND and OR conditions in scoring rules.
• Apply calculations to rating and scale questions.
• Direct respondents to different sections based on a score threshold.
• Review scores in the Results Table and Charts.

Where Calculated Scores Support a Workflow

Evaluate Recruitment or Training Results

An HR team may need to score a recruitment assessment or post-training test consistently across participants. Within an employee survey solution, calculations can produce a final value that helps the team organise results according to its predefined evaluation criteria.

Total Values in a Psychology Questionnaire

A researcher may need to add item values across a structured psychological instrument. Porsline’s psychology surveys can support the calculation workflow, but the scoring rules and interpretation must still follow the validated methodology of the selected instrument.

After watching, create a short test with three questions and assign a value to each intended answer. Submit several test responses and confirm that the final Score value matches the scoring model you defined.
