  5. In Multiple Choice (Scored) questions we will see how many responses are selected. In the above screen shot 4 options are selected. So, we will calculate like 12.5(explained in point 4) *4 (count of selected options) = 50. So, the score is 50 for that particular question.
  6. The option that is “None of the above” has no score. That’s why it is not calculated.
