Modifying the scoring method
Many items can be scored using one of the automatic scoring methods available in TAO, whilst some will need to be scored manually. The scoring method is configured in the Response Properties Panel on the right of your interaction.

By default, a test-taker receives one point per completely correct interaction. However, some types of interactions require more than one response (for example Inline choice, Associate, or Hottext interactions). In these cases, according to the scoring method which is applied by default, the test-taker has to select all the correct choices in order for the answer to be considered correct. You may want to modify the scoring method if, for example, you want the test-taker to receive partial credit for selecting some, but not all, of the correct choices.
This is not available for all types of interaction – the topics describing each interaction under QTI Interaction Types and PCI Interaction Types will tell you if this is possible for that particular interaction.
There is also the option of configuring the scoring method to award a higher weight to some of the choices than to others – in other words, to award more points for some responses.
