Scoring in Kiwiform

What is Scoring?

Scoring allows you to assign numeric values to answer choices and automatically calculate a total score as respondents complete your form. Instead of just collecting responses, you can measure performance, evaluate knowledge, qualify leads, or rank submissions.

Scoring turns a simple form into a smart evaluation tool. Whether you're building a quiz, assessment, or weighted survey, scoring gives you structured results you can use for decisions.

Where to Find Scoring

You can configure Scoring from the Logic Flow section.

1. Open your form

2. Click Logic Flow from the center header navigation

3. Select Scoring from the top-left logic tools

This opens the Scoring panel where you can assign points to supported question types.

How Scoring Works

Scoring works by attaching numeric values to specific answers. When a respondent selects an option, the assigned value is added to their total score automatically.

Each answer choice can have a different point value. The total score builds as the form progresses. This total can later be used to trigger logic, show different endings, or analyze performance.

You stay in control of how much weight each answer carries.

Supported Question Types

You can assign points to:

• Multiple Selection

• Dropdown

• Picture Selection

• Yes / No

• Legal Text

• Opinion Poll

• Rating

Each answer choice includes a score field where you can enter a numeric value.

How to Assign Points

1. Open Logic Flow

2. Click Scoring

3. Enter a score value next to each answer option

4. Click Save

That’s it. Scoring is now active for your form.

You can edit scores anytime by reopening the Scoring panel.

Scoring vs Quiz Result

Scoring calculates numeric totals. Quiz Result logic is typically used to display outcomes based on conditions.

If Quiz Result is already configured, you may see a message asking you to remove it before using Scoring. This prevents conflicting logic.

Choose Scoring when you need numeric evaluation. Choose Quiz Result when you want outcome-based logic without numeric totals.

Testing Your Scoring

Before publishing:

• Use Preview mode

• Complete the form

• Check if totals calculate correctly

• Confirm that the score logic matches your expectations

Testing ensures your evaluation logic works exactly as intended.

Common Use Cases

Scoring is ideal for:

• Knowledge quizzes

• Skill assessments

• Certification tests

• Lead qualification forms

• Personality tests

• Product recommendation forms

• Weighted surveys

It helps you measure responses instead of just collecting them.

Best Practices

To get the most accurate results:

• Keep scoring values consistent

• Avoid assigning random or extreme values

• Clearly define correct and incorrect answers

• Test your form before publishing

• Keep your scoring logic simple and intentional

Clear structure leads to reliable outcomes.
