    Hi,

    How do I get points to subtotal and show at the end of the survey once completed for the total number correct? I want whoever is taking the test to see their score and be able to go back and see the correct answers.

    Hi

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. We can use a calculation widget on your form so that we can sum the total selected value of the responder. You can even create multiple calculation fields to add multiple sections. Let me show you how to do it:

    • In Form Builder, click on the Add element button on the left and add the Form Calculation widget under the Widgets tab.
    • Then click on the Calculation Widget's Wand icon to open the settings on the right.
    • Click on Add Field and select the field you'd like to include in your formula.
    • You may also make use of the calculation operators on the calculation buttons on the right menu.
    • Once done, click Save and that's it.

    Next, we need to assign calculation values to your questions so the correct number is added when it is selected. Let me walk you through it:

    • In Form Builder, click on the Gear icon on one of your fields.
    • Click on the Options tab and assign a calculation value on the correct answer.

    That's it. Please check the screencast below on how it would work. In my example, the correct answer is the first option:

    ok so I actually got the numbers to add up correctly so you can disregard that. but I do want to know, is there a way for whoever took the quiz to see the correct answers or the answer guide with the questions?
