The following scoring types are available in Order List question types:

• Exact Match - Student must answer all parts of the question correct to receive a mark.
• Partial Match Per Response - Each response entity will be marked individually and marks will be awarded if responses are in the correct position. Each response entity will be awarded an individual score.
• Partial Match - Each response entity will be marked individually and marks will be awarded if responses are in the correct position. The overall question score will be divided between the response items.
• Partial Pairwise Per Response - Entities are compared in pairs to determine the score.
