Literally equal to (equivLiteral)

The "Literally Equal To" (equivLiteral) scoring method ensures precision by marking a response correct only if it exactly matches the expected answer, with the exception of some minor syntax differences. This is useful for math and science questions where exact values, symbols, or formatting matter. For added flexibility in a controlled manner, authors can also set additional options.

equivLiteral

This demo uses the equivLiteral scoring method, which checks that a learner’s response is literally equivalent to the authored answer. It is ideal for scenarios where exact structure and formatting matter.

equivLiteral + Ignore addition and multiplication order

This demo showcases the equivLiteral scoring method with the additional option to ignore addition and multiplication order.

This configuration provides:
- Greater flexibility for learners, allowing them to enter answers in any equivalent order without penalty (e.g., a + b or b + a).
- Simplified authoring, eliminating the need to manually list every valid alternate response."

equivLiteral + Ignore Order + Ignore coefficient of 1 + Require all grouping symbols

This demo uses equivLiteral scoring with ignore addition and multiplication order, ignore coefficient of 1, and require all grouping symbols.

This setup gives learners flexibility in expression order and coefficients, while still enforcing proper use of parentheses for clear, structured answers."
