[QTI] How to score a question

Luis,

You are right.  It is simpler to ignore custom rules defined in 
responseProcessing and to just use the pre-defined response processing 
templates.  These templates describe the most common use cases, such as 
comparing the response from the student with the correct response that 
appears in the declaration.

So I think the answer to your question is, "Yes", you must recognize 
which exam the candidate did, compare the value of each response with 
the declared correct answers in the responseDeclarations.

You mention the mapping (I think).  If you are using questions with 
multiple selections in your multichoice then you might need to use the 
mapping construct that is typically used when you need to score each 
option separately and add up the resulting scores.

You could also use this type of mapping for the text-based interactions 
to help support multiple accepted answers I suppose.

Hope this helps.

Steve
