Multi-statement True/False · Custom score tiers
Create multi-statement true/false questions for online quizzes
Give learners a passage or set of facts, then ask them to mark each statement True or False. Set an answer for every statement and decide how many points the question earns for each number of correct answers.
- One question with several statements to evaluate
- A separate True/False answer for every statement
- Custom scoring for the question as a whole

Judge each statement separately, then score the whole question by the number of correct answers.
01 · When to use it
When should you group statements in one question?
Interpreting a problem or data table
Use one scenario to check calculations, comparisons and conclusions. Add it to an assessment in Online Exams when you need a scoring scale for the whole multi-statement question.
Checking understanding after training
Present a procedure learners have studied and ask which actions follow it. Each statement should be clear enough to answer without guessing policies that are not included in the question.
Choose another format when…
Do not group unrelated statements just to make a longer question. If each statement needs its own independent score, use separate true/false questions. To assess reasoning, add a short-answer question asking for an explanation.
02 · Choose an approach
How is this different from a multiple-answer question?
The two formats ask learners to do different things. Choose based on the task, not just on how many answers are correct.
Judge every statement
With “Multiple True/False (tiered scoring)”, each statement has two choices. Learners must identify false statements as well as true ones.
- How to set it up
- Write the statements, set True or False for each, and assign points based on the number answered correctly.
Keep in mind
“Correct answers” means answers that match the answer key, not the number of times a learner chooses True.
Select all applicable options
With a multiple-answer question, learners check the options that apply. They do not give a separate True/False answer for each option.
- How to set it up
- Choose the multiple-answer type for tasks such as “Select all correct answers” or “Select the actions you should take”.
Keep in mind
For a quick review in Quick Quiz, you can turn the statements into individual true/false questions.
Understand the scoring scale before assigning the quiz
You decide how many points each correct-answer count earns. These tables are examples, not a required scale for any particular exam.
| Statements answered correctly | Points |
|---|---|
| 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 0.5 |
| 2 | 1 |
| Statements answered correctly | Points |
|---|---|
| 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 0.1 |
| 2 | 0.25 |
| 3 | 0.5 |
| 4 | 1 |
Choosing False can be a correct answer
If the answer to B is False, choosing False adds one to the correct-answer count. The system counts answers that match the key for each statement.
Each tier awards the question’s total score
In the two-statement example, one correct answer earns 0.5 points and two earn 1 point. Do not add 0.5 + 1 or multiply these values by the separate “Score” field.
Include every count from zero to the total
If a tier is missing, the system uses the highest threshold reached. With only 0 → 0 and 4 → 1, one, two or three correct answers still earn zero. Listing every count makes partial-credit rules clear.
03 · Step-by-step guide
How to create a multi-statement True/False question
Open your quiz in Online Exams and follow the six steps below. The mockup uses two statements worth up to 1 point and shows the fields in the actual editor.
Select a step to see where to work. Step 4 explains each statement’s answer; step 5 explains the scoring table.
Enter the shared information at the top, set True/False under each statement and configure scoring at the bottom.
Open your quiz in Online Exams and add a question. Use this example: a class has 20 students, and 5 belong to the reading club. Both statements will use these same facts.
What to check
The information in the question should be enough to judge both statements.
Open the question-type selector to the right of the question text and choose “Multiple True/False (tiered scoring)”. The editor shows separate statements, True/False answers and a scoring table.
What to check
Choose the type with score tiers, not the multiple-answer checkbox type.
Enter: “A class has 20 students. Five of them belong to the reading club. Decide whether each statement below is true or false.” Put the shared facts here instead of repeating them in each statement.
What to check
Include both the class size and the number of club members so students can calculate the answers.
For A, enter “25% of the students belong to the club.” and select True. For B, enter “15 students belong to the club.” and select False. Use “Add statement” for more items, and check each answer after making edits.
What to check
A is True and B is False. Each statement should test one clear point.
Add three tiers: 0 correct → 0 points, 1 correct → 0.5 points, and 2 correct → 1 point. Use “Add score tier” for extra rows and list correct-answer counts in ascending order. For this example, also set the separate “Score” field to 1 for consistency.
What to check
The top tier awards 1 point. The 0.5 in the table is an actual score, not a multiplier.
Test an attempt with neither answer correct, one correct, and both correct. The scores should be 0, 0.5 and 1. Include an attempt choosing True for A and False for B: that is two correct answers, even though True was selected only once.
What to check
Check the intermediate score as well as the minimum and maximum.

04 · Practical examples
Three ways to use this question format
Each scenario includes a question, answer, and suggestions for adapting it to your classroom or workplace.
Math: interpreting numbers and percentages
A class has 20 students, 5 of whom belong to the reading club.
Sample question
Judge the statements about club membership.
- A25% of the students belong to the club.
- B15 students belong to the club.
- C15 students do not belong to the club.
- DHalf of the students belong to the club.
Answer / grading criteria
A: True · B: False · C: True · D: False.
Why use this question?
One set of facts can check percentages, subtraction and fractions. Each statement tests one point, making it easier to identify a misunderstanding.
Adapt it to your quiz
Replace the numbers with a problem from your lesson. To see learners’ calculations, add a short-answer question afterwards. The demo scale of 0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5 and 1 point is just one example.
Reading: library opening hours
The library opens Monday–Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon. It is closed on Sunday.
Sample question
Do these statements match the opening hours?
- AThe library opens at 8 a.m. on Monday.
- BThe library stays open until 5 p.m. on Saturday.
- CThe library is closed on Sunday.
Answer / grading criteria
A: True · B: False · C: True.
Why use this question?
B checks whether the learner notices that weekend hours differ from weekday hours. No knowledge beyond the notice is needed.
Adapt it to your quiz
Use a real notice you have permission to share. Save the question in your question library in Question Bank for reuse. To test recall of the times instead, add a fill-in-the-blank question.
Training: following a request-handling procedure
Sample procedure: record the request ID, forward it to the responsible team, and confirm a completion time only after that team replies.
Sample question
Judge each action using the procedure provided.
- ARecord the request ID before forwarding it.
- BYou may promise a completion time before the responsible team replies.
- CForward the request to the team responsible for handling it.
Answer / grading criteria
A: True · B: False · C: True.
Why use this question?
A checks the recording step; B checks when a time can be confirmed; C checks routing to the right team. All three use the same procedure but test different points.
Adapt it to your quiz
Replace the sample with your organization’s approved procedure. After training, review assessment results and reports to decide what to revisit. For a brief review in Quick Quiz, split the steps into individual true/false questions.
05 · Mistakes to avoid
Common mistakes when writing multi-statement questions
Common issue: Combining two claims in one statement when one is true and the other false.
How to fix it: Split them into separate statements, each with a clear True or False answer.
Common issue: Counting True selections instead of correct answers.
How to fix it: Compare every response with its answer key. Choosing False for a false statement is correct.
Common issue: Repeating a correct-answer count or entering tiers out of order.
How to fix it: Use each count once and list the tiers in ascending order: 0, 1, 2… up to the number of statements.
Common issue: Copying the example scale without checking the assessment requirements.
How to fix it: Set appropriate points, test intermediate outcomes and check the overall quiz score before assigning it.
Check before assigning
- The shared information is enough to judge every statement.
- Each statement makes one clear claim.
- Every statement has its own True/False answer key.
- Correct-answer counts are unique and in ascending order.
- The highest tier matches your intended score for the question.
- You have tested zero, partial-credit and full-credit outcomes.
Is this one question or several separate questions?
It is one question with shared information and several statements. Learners mark each statement True or False, and the scoring scale determines the score for the whole question.
Can choosing False count as a correct answer?
Yes, when the statement’s answer is False. “Correct answers” counts responses that match the answer key, not how often the learner chooses True.
Must every correct statement add the same number of points?
No. You can use equal or uneven scoring steps. For example, two statements could use 0, 0.5 and 1 point, while four could use 0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5 and 1 point. These are illustrations only.
What happens if a score tier is missing?
The system uses the highest correct-answer threshold reached. With only 0 correct → 0 points and 4 correct → 1 point, one, two or three correct answers still earn zero. Include every count if you want to award partial credit at each level.
Is 0.5 in the table multiplied by the separate Score field?
For the tiered scoring shown here, 0.5 is the number of points awarded, not a multiplier. Set the highest tier to the maximum you intend, then try the question and check both its score and the quiz total.
Do I need a separate quiz for this question type?
No. Add a “Multiple True/False (tiered scoring)” question to the quiz you are already editing in Online Exams, alongside other question types.
