Numerical input questions

Numeric questions allow test-takers to enter responses in number format only. You can customize the accepted number format, enforce precision rules, apply separators, and automatically grade answers based on numeric rules. Numeric questions are ideal for calculations, data entry, and scientific or financial contexts.

Entry notation

Under Entry notation, you can choose the required numeric format:

• Numerical entry: Accepts standard numeric values like 1200.03

• Scientific entry: Accepts values in scientific notation like 1.2e3

• Numerical or scientific entry: Allows either format

Separator

Customize how thousand and precision separators appear:

• Comma for thousands, dot for precision (1,200.45)

• Dot for thousands, comma for precision (1.200,45)

• Or only use precision with either a dot or comma, with no thousand separator.

Precision digit

You can specify the maximum number of decimal places that will be accepted. For example, setting it to 4 limits inputs to four digits after the decimal point (e.g., 3.1415).

Input settings

You can configure how the input field appears by adding/changing its label and placeholder text, hint, prefix, suffix, character counter, text alignment and width.

Input validation

You can define regular expressions the input should match or should not match, along with custom error messages. This ensures the number entered conforms to any specific validation logic required beyond standard numeric formatting.

Automatic evaluation

You can apply Numeric Rules to grade responses automatically. Available rule types include:

• Equal

• Not equal

• Should match (regex)

• Should not match (regex)

• Is between

• Compare with

• Is one of

• Is none of

Each rule lets you define how the system calculates the result and assigns a score.
