Math Settings
In addition to setting up a keyboard as described in Step 3 above, for math items you can also set up a range of accepted values if Standard Scoring is set. Authors can input a minimum and maximum value and responses within the range (including the lower and upper values) will be scored correctly. Partial scoring is not allowed for ranges.
