Assign Points

Assign points to answers in Google Forms and auto-calculate scores — for quizzes, assessments, lead scores, and calculators. Set it up by describing the scoring in plain English.

Quick Answer

How do I calculate a score in Google Forms?

Use Formfacade's Assign Points. Go to formfacade.com/calculate, paste your Google Form, and describe how you want it scored in plain English — for example 'give 1 point for each correct answer, then show the total score after submit'. Formfacade supports dropdown, multiple-choice, checkbox, Likert, linear-scale, and grid questions, and can calculate overall, section, or category scores, show feedback, and recommend or redirect based on the score.

Assign Points turns a plain Google Form into a quiz, assessment, lead score, or calculator. You attach point values to answers, Formfacade adds up the score automatically, and you decide what the respondent sees based on how they scored.

Describe how to score it — in plain English

Instead of filling in a points grid, you describe the scoring in your own words — for example "Give 1 point for each correct answer, then show the total score after submit." You can also describe what to show for each score range. Click Send and Formfacade sets it up.

The 'Describe how you want to score this form' screen with a plain-English instruction box and a Send button
Describe the scoring in plain English — points, when to show the score, and what to say for each result.

Example scoring instruction

"Give 1 point for each correct answer (5 total). Hide the score while filling and show it after submit, with the correct answer for any wrong ones. 5 points: 'Security pro!' 3–4: 'Solid, but brush up.' 0–2: 'Please complete the security training.'"
