My task is to create a unique quiz consisting of 10 questions. Half of the questions are multiple choice, which require radio inputs, while the other half are written answers that need text inputs. To ensure accuracy and provide a scoring system, I came across a helpful script on stack overflow that can keep track of scores as users enter their answers.
For the multiple-choice questions, I have implemented the following script:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('input[name=radio1]').change(function(){
$('.alert').remove();
if($('input[name=radio1]:checked').val() === "1") {
$(this).parent().append('<span class="correct">✓ Correct!</span>');
} else {
$(this).parent().append('<span class="incorrect">✗ Correct answer = B</span>');
}
});
});
Here, the correct answer is indicated by value="1", while the incorrect options have value="0".
As for the written answers, I use the following script:
$('submit').on('click', function() {
markAnswers(1)
});
var answers = {
q1: ["Auto's"]
};
function markAnswers(id) {
$(`#q${id}`).each(function () {
let userAnswer = this.value.replace(/[^\w\'\,\-\?\!\"\:\—\;]/g,'');
if ($.inArray(userAnswer, answers[this.id]) === -1) {
$(this).parent().append(`<br><span class='incorrect'>✗ Correct answer = ${answers[this.id]}</span>`);
} else {
$(this).parent().append("<br><span class='correct'>✓ Correct!</span>");
}
});
}
The correct value for the written answers is determined by this script.
Now, I found another interesting script that tracks the score using data-score=. However, I am considering using value instead. The original script is provided below:
$('.track').change(function(e) {
update_progress();
});
// supports any number of inputs and calculates done as %
function update_progress() {
var score = 0
$('input.track').each(function(){
var _score = $(this).data("score")
if ($(this).val().length > 0) {
score += _score
}
})
$('#score').text(score)
var count = $('.track').length;
var length = $('.track').filter(function() {
return this.value;
}).length;
var done = Math.floor(length * (100 / count));
$('.perc').text(done);
$('.meter').width(done + ""%");
}
You can find the script here: . It's a useful script that not only keeps track of scores but also indicates whether the form has been completed or not.
In my quiz, I would like each correct answer to have a value of 1. This way, users can achieve a maximum score of 10/10 at the end. However, I am unsure how to implement this and would appreciate any suggestions or solutions from you guys. Thank you!
