How point values work in a Google Form quiz

Setting Google Form quiz points starts with one toggle. Open Settings, switch on Make this a quiz, and then give each question its own point value in the answer key. The total score is the sum of those values, so the points you choose shape the final grade.

Turn on Make this a quiz in Settings before you add answer keys.
Enter a point value for each question in its answer key section.
Choose when respondents see grades under the release settings.
Submit a test response to confirm the total matches your plan.

Most mistakes happen when the answer key is incomplete. A question without a correct answer cannot be autograded, and a value left at the default may not match the weight you intended. Before you publish, check every question, then test the form by submitting a sample response and confirming the score.

If you need questions to begin with, DeckOwl can write a set from your own notes. Review each answer and explanation, then enter the questions you keep into your form with the points you want.
