Uplup quizzes support four scoring modes to match different use cases: points-based scoring, percentage display, pass/fail assessment, and personality matching. Choose the mode that fits your quiz goals.
When creating a quiz, you select a scoring mode that determines how results are calculated and displayed. All quizzes use the same builder – the scoring mode just changes how answers are evaluated.
