Negative marking – how to activate ?

How can we get Negative Marking feature into Quiz-Tool-Lite ?

Some competitive exams / entrance exams have negative marking. It might be a whole number – such as -1 mark for every wrong answer or it is a fraction in some exams – such as -0.25 mark for every wrong answer.

Usually, there are very few exams where the negative marking changes by question. It is always a constant for the entire test.

So, is there a way to get a negative marking function into Quiz-Tool-Lite ?

There can be two options – at the time of loading questions, each answer option can be given a number; +1 for the correct answer and -1 (or a fraction) for the wrong answer. The final score can be the sum of scores for all the answers.
e.g. 1 -1 +1 +1 +1 -1 -1 +1 -1 = final score is -1

Else, the other approach could be to do the calculation after the final scores are available normally.
e.g. you answered 5 questions correctly out 10. So there were 5 wrong answers. Final score will be 5 (for right answers) – (5 * 0.25) – where 0.25 is the negative marks.

Can this be done ?
