<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:#1F497D">Thank you. I have managed to get it to respond correctly (red incorrect of total_score==0, tan partial credit if 0<total_score<1, and green correct if total_score==1).
I have run quite a few tests and it seems to work fine with only this statement:</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:#1F497D"> return ('ASSIGNED_SCORE',$total_score);</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:#1F497D">I am still having one problem. There is a conditional block that shows a gnuplot of the correct answer if it is wrong and maxtries has been met. Before I
converted to the customresponse the block worked fine, but now the &check_status function returns 1 no matter what, whether wrong, correct, or partially correct. Does that function not work with customresponse? If not, is there a LON-CAPA parameter for number
of tries used? If so, I could compare that parameter to maxtries and do the same thing.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black">You're right that the last return statement shouldn't be there. Also, there is a subtlety about returning 'INCORRECT' in a partial credit problem. If a student submits an answer that gets 1/2
credit, then changes it to an answer that gets 0 credit, returning 'INCORRECT' will leave the student with 1/2 credit. Perhaps this is what you want, but if not,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black">if ($total_score == 1) {return 'EXACT_ANS';}</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black">else {return ('ASSIGNED_SCORE', $total_score);}</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black">will suffice (if you know $total_score is between 0 and 1, inclusive). (Also, it's possible that you can forget about the if statement entirely, in case LON-CAPA knows that ('ASSIGNED_SCORE', 1)
is the same as 'EXACT_ANS', but I've never bothered testing this.)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black">As for the real issue, it's tough to say what might be going wrong without seeing the rest of the code, but you might try computing $total_score locally in the answer block and see if that fixes
anything. If you want to check what credit the student has received, this will set $partial_credit to what credit the student has received, or 0 if the student hasn't attempted the problem yet (<b>ID</b> should be replaced by the part ID of the problem part):</span></p>

<p class="x_xmsonormal">Hi,</p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal">I rewrote the problem I have been working on so that it is now a custom response, but am having trouble getting it to properly grade the problem submission. This is the code for grading inside the answer block:</p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> if ($total_score == 1) { return 'EXACT_ANS'; }</p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> elsif ($total_score > 0) { return ('ASSIGNED_SCORE',$total_score); }</p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> else { return 'INCORRECT'; }</p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> return ('ASSIGNED_SCORE',$total_score);</p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal">I have tried it with and without the second return statement, but either way the Correct/Partially Correct/Incorrect grading seems almost random. $total_score is computed in a perl script higher up in the program, and I am outputting
it to verify that it is being computed correctly. I also have a retrypartial parameter at the top of the program because I want the students to be able to take three tries at it on the practice version:</p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"><parameter name="retrypartial" type="string_yesno" description="Partially correct is answerable" default="yes" /></p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal">Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?</p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal">Thanks for any help/advice you can provide.</p>
