[LON-CAPA-users] Decreasing values of successive attempts?

Ok, so grabbing the tries is easy enough and I have everything working down
to the magic of weighting the score. I know that customresponse type allows
a return of ASSIGNED_SCORE so I can go that route for sure. I've been doing
a lot of customresponse lately and feel like I may be overusing it. The
documentation refers to the options for customresponse returns as standard
Lon-Capa return codes, so I'm wondering if, for example, I can somehow get a
numerical response item to return an ASSIGNED_SCORE or is that ONLY for
customresponse items? Thanks,
Doug

What about grabbing the #tries with &Ext (or equiv) and then

I'm sure the real pros can

Doug,
I don't have a definitive answer for you, but in looking at

has a partial credit factor. Remember

You might be able to:

(for example, if they are within 1%, give 1; if within

Later,
