Form Calculation: How to Add Multiple Choice Points and Calculate Percentages

I need tio add up muktiple choice questiobs by oiints and divide by total pooints how and wgere can I do that?

Hi Tim,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.

Let me help you with that:

To add up multiple choice questions by points and divide by total points in Jotform, you can use Jotform's Quiz Form feature or the Online Quiz Maker. Here's how:

1. Use Jotform's Online Quiz Maker: Go to the Free Online Quiz Maker and click on Create Your Quiz. You can upload your resources or use AI prompts to create the quiz. This tool allows you to assign points to multiple choice questions and calculate scores.
2. Use Quizform to turn your form into a quiz: Visit Quizform, open your form, and select the correct answers for your multiple choice questions. You can enable the option to show results after submission, which will calculate the total points and percentage based on the answers.
3. Configure your quiz form: In Quizform, you can specify correct answers and assign points. The system will automatically calculate the total points scored by the user and divide it by the total possible points to give a percentage score.

This way, you can add up points from multiple choice questions and calculate percentages easily within Jotform.

no not a quiz just pt out of total possible pts

Hi Tim,

To calculate points out of total possible points in Jotform without using the quiz feature, you can use the Form Calculation widget. This widget allows you to add up points from multiple choice questions and then divide by the total possible points to get a percentage or score.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Add the Form Calculation widget to your form from the Widgets tab.
2. Assign calculation values to your multiple choice options by enabling the "Calculation Values" option in the multiple choice field settings. Enter the points for each choice.
3. Set up the calculation in the Form Calculation widget to sum the points from your multiple choice questions.
4. Divide the sum by the total possible points (you can enter this as a fixed number in the calculation widget) to get the percentage or score.

This method lets you calculate points and percentages without turning your form into a quiz.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for reaching out to us for help. Viewing the total price of your items in Jotform Tables is easy. You can do that using a Total Cost column. Let me show you how:

1. In Form Builder, click on the Add Form Element menu on the left side of the page.
2. Under the Widgets tab, drag and drop a Form Calculation widget under your Product List field.
3. Now, in the menu on the right side of the screen, click on Add Field and select the Product List field.
4. Click on Save and that’s it. You’re done.

Also, to prevent changes in the Form Calculation widget, you can hide it. Let me show you how:

1. In Form Builder, select the Form Calculation widget.
2. Then, right click on the Six Dots icon and select Hide.

Now, you can see the total cost column in your Table:

Hi Tim,

You can set the Form Calculation widget to read-only to prevent anyone from changing the calculated value. Let me show you how:

1. In Form Builder, select the Form Calculation widget and click on the Wand icon to open Widget Settings.
2. In the menu on the right side, above the Save button, click on Options.
3. Click the checkbox next to Result Field is Read-Only, then click on Go Back.
4. Click Save and you're done.

forget it

Hi Tim,

One of our Support Team members will take it from here to follow up shortly.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for using Jotform. I checked your form and I see that you were able to create conditions. If you want to divide the total, you can add parentheses to calculate the sum of all fields first, then divide the result. This will ensure the sum is calculated before the division, giving you the correct total percentage.

Let us know if you need any other help.

Thx
