Which answers count under a choice rule
Where the paper says answer any three of seven, which answers count towards the total is resolved from that rule. A student who writes more than allowed still has the extra answers marked and visible, but they are not added into the total.
How it is done today
Optional questions are in almost every paper here, and they are where hand-totalling goes wrong most often. If a student answers four, which three count is decided differently by different teachers, and if they answer fewer, where the unwritten marks go throws the arithmetic out.
How it works
- 1
The rule comes from the paper
Which questions belong to a choice set and how many must be answered is captured when the question paper is parsed.
- 2
What counts is resolved
What the student actually wrote is matched against the set's rule to decide which answers count towards the total.
- 3
Extra answers are shown, not added
Answer more than allowed and the extras are still marked with their marks visible; they are simply not added into the total.
- 4
Answering fewer still reconciles
Where a student answers fewer than allowed, the marks for questions nobody wrote are accounted for separately, so the script is not withheld over a sum that looks short.
What the AI agent does, what you approve
What the AI agent does
The system matches the paper's rule against what the student wrote and resolves which answers count.
What you approve
Which answers count can be changed by the teacher. The system's choice is a proposal, not a decision.

Frequently asked questions
What happens if a student answers too many?
The extra answers are still marked and their marks remain visible; they are just not added into the total. What counted and what was set aside are both shown.
Are the best answers chosen?
We do not claim that. What counts is resolved against the set's rule, and the teacher can change that choice themselves.
What if fewer than allowed are answered?
The marks for the unwritten questions are accounted for separately. That matters, because otherwise the gap would look like an arithmetic fault and hold back a correctly marked script.
What if the rule cannot be read?
If the paper's structure could not be parsed, the session records that plainly, so the teacher knows the choice rules were not captured and can check them.
