  4. To allow partial credit, place a check in the Allow Partial Credit check box. In the Partial Credit % box, type a value for the percentage of total points you want to allow for partial answers. Partial credit for this question type is based on whether the correct interrogatives were chosen. A percentage of the total points can be deducted if an incorrect interrogative is used or one is not present at all. You can allow partial credit if the answer includes at least one of the specified answer phrases but none of the specified interrogatives.
