How to score quiz questions with multiple correct answers

Pick one model before you start and say it out loud. The checker above shows both.

• All-or-nothing: 1 point for an exact match, 0 for anything else. Fast to mark, and it's how Slido grades.
• Per-option: 1 point per correct option ticked, minus 1 per wrong tick, never below 0. Fairer, and ticking everything earns nothing.

For a live team game, use all-or-nothing. Teams can mark it in seconds and nobody argues about half points. Switch to per-option for training quizzes, where you want to see what people half know.

How to set up a multiple answer quiz in Google Forms, Kahoot, Slido and Mentimeter

As each tool's help pages describe it in October 2026. Tools change, so check before a big event.

• Google Forms: Turn the form into a quiz, use a Checkboxes question and tick every correct answer in the answer key. You can give partial points by hand when you review responses. Google Docs Editors Help
• Kahoot: The multi-select question type, on select paid plans, takes more than one correct answer. Players score for each correct answer they pick, but nothing if they also pick a wrong one. Kahoot blog
• Slido: A quiz question can have several correct options. Players have to pick all of them to get the points; there is no partial credit. Slido help
• Mentimeter: A Select Answer quiz question can mark more than one option correct, but each player picks only one. Use the workaround below for true select-all. Mentimeter help

If your tool takes only one answer

Turn the correct set into one option, like “Argentina, Peru and Uruguay”, and build the wrong options from other mixes of the same names. Or ask each option as its own true or false question. Comparing tools? See our Kahoot alternatives.

Want someone to run the quiz for your team?

A live host brings the questions, the screen and the scoring, so you get to play too. Quiz Showdown! races teams against the clock and each other, and in Poll Points! players guess how the crowd will answer poll questions. Both run an hour on Zoom (Teams, Google Meet or Webex on request); book about 2 weeks ahead. See every virtual trivia game, or get a free quote.

Run training sessions too? KraftyLab Intelligence sends a short pulse survey after every event, with 20 ready-made templates and AI summaries of the answers. It also works on its own, for any survey you send by email. For question ideas, see our multiple choice survey questions.
