Multiple choice scoring problems

The two MC question types, "Multiple Choice Question (Rate individual answer options)" and "Multiple Choice Question (Rate only correct answer combination)", may be scored incorrectly by evaexam under certain circumstances:

If multiple answer options are checked for a question, the system may detect and score some but not all of the crosses for the question. However, as soon as at least one cross has been detected, the question will not be presented for verification but is automatically and definitively scored. Thus, the system may log and scor incomplete answers without you noticing. This, in turn, can lead to incorrect grading. The use of the MC question types should, therefore, be avoided completely.

Please note that this is not a bug but an unfortunate shortcoming of the MC question types.

The question type "Kprim" offers a suitable and safe alternative.
