In a score-based quiz, each answer option carries a numeric point value that you define. These values accumulate as the customer progresses through the quiz to produce a final score. This guide explains how to enter score values for your answers.

​
Before You Start: Enable Score Mode

The score field on answers is only visible when your quiz is set to score-based recommendation mode. If you do not see a score field when editing an answer, you need to enable scoring first:
  1. Open your quiz in the Quizify editor
  2. Go to Recommendations within the quiz
  3. Find the recommendation type setting
  4. Select Score-Based as the recommendation type
  5. Save
Once score mode is enabled, the score field will appear next to each answer option directly on the Recommendations tab.

How to Assign a Score to an Answer

  1. Open your quiz in the Quizify editor
  2. Navigate to the Recommendations tab
  3. The Score field is displayed next to each answer option
  4. Enter the numeric value directly into the score field for each answer
  5. Save
  6. Repeat for every answer option across all questions in the quiz

​
How Scores Are Calculated

By default, Quizify sums all selected answer values across the entire quiz into a final total. Every answer the customer selects adds its score value to a running total. If you need more control over the calculation — for example, to weight certain questions more heavily — you can set up a custom formula in the quiz’s scoring settings. The formula supports the standard math operators: +, -, *, and /. See the Advanced Formula-Based Scoring guide for details. Example: This total of 10 would then be matched against your defined score ranges to determine the recommendation.

Scoring Consistency Tips

For a well-calibrated scoring system, keep these practices in mind:
  • Use a consistent scale per question — If your answers range from “Never” to “Always”, map them to the same point scale (e.g., 1–5) on every question so each question contributes equally to the total.
  • Calculate your minimum and maximum totals — Work out the lowest possible total (all answers at minimum value) and the highest possible total (all answers at maximum value). Use these as the boundaries for your score ranges.
  • Avoid large jumps in values — If most answers score 1–3 but one answer scores 20, that one question will dominate the total and make the rest less meaningful.

Map out your score system in a spreadsheet before entering values in Quizify. List each question and its possible answers with their values, then sum the minimum and maximum to design your ranges.
