Quesiton points can be precisely adjusted and rounded to two decimal places, ensuring accurate scoring that reflects the intended weighting of each question. The total points of all questions in the question list displays above of the question list points column. ![edit question list vew](https://support.atomicjolt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-08-08%20at%205-24-30%E2%80%AFPM-png.png?width=688&height=299&name=Screenshot%202024-08-08%20at%205-24-30%E2%80%AFPM-png.png) ### **Editing Question Points from the Question List** **Multi-Part Question Point Distribution** For questions consisting of multiple parts, editing the points from the question list view will  distribute those points evenly across all questions in that group. Should the multi-part question structure require a different point distribution, manual adjustments to each part’s point value will be necessary. **Shared Question Point Consistency Across Assessments** Questions shared across multiple assessments maintain consistent point values across all instances. Consequently, modifying the points for a shared question in one assessment will update the point values in all other assessments where the question appears. It is important to consider the impact of these changes, as they may have broad effects on scoring consistency across assessments. **Main vs. Alternate Answer Point Allocation** Modifications made to question points in the question list apply solely to the primary correct answer option. Point values for any alternate correct answers will remain unchanged unless specifically adjusted within the **Set correct answer(s)** section.  ### **Editing Question Points from the Question Editor** ![](https://support.atomicjolt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-08-08%20at%205-17-03%E2%80%AFPM-png.png?width=669&height=443&name=Screenshot%202024-08-08%20at%205-17-03%E2%80%AFPM-png.png) To edit the point value assigned to a question, click on the question name in the question list and scroll down  in the question editor to the **Set correct answer(s)** section. Specify the number of points in the **Point(s)** text field.  - [Atomic Jolt Customer FAQs](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-jolt-customer-faqs?hsLang=en) - [Atomic Assessments](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Release Notes](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#release-notes) - [Authoring Assessments](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#authoring-assessments) - [For Nursing](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#for-nursing) - [Content Management](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#content-management) - [Question Types](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#question-types) - [Grading & Feedback](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#grading-feedback) - [Reports](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#reports) - [Import and Export](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#import-and-export) - [Advanced Features](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#advanced-features) - [Proctoring](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#proctoring) - [Installation Guides](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#installation-guides) - [FAQ for Atomic Assessments](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#faq-for-atomic-assessments) - [Adaptive Assessments](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#adaptive-assessments) - [Learning Standards](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#learning-standards) - [Brightspace](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#brightspace) - [Canvas](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#canvas) - [Publishers](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#publishers) - [Admin Features](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#admin-features) - [Atomic Search](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-search?hsLang=en#main-content) - [FAQs](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-search?hsLang=en#faqs) - [Using Search](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-search?hsLang=en#using-search) - [Admin Features](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-search?hsLang=en#admin-features) - [Content Indexing](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-search?hsLang=en#content-indexing) - [Reports & Analytics](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-search?hsLang=en#reports-analytics) - [Brightspace Support](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-search?hsLang=en#brightspace-support) - [Canvas Support](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-search?hsLang=en#canvas-support) - [Atomic Journals](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-journals?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Course Authors](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-journals?hsLang=en#course-authors) - [Student Experience](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-journals?hsLang=en#student-experience) - [Atomic Polls](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-polls?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Course Authors](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-polls?hsLang=en#course-authors) - [Student Experience](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-polls?hsLang=en#student-experience) - [Course Copy](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-polls?hsLang=en#course-copy) - [Atomic Discussions](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-discussions?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Course Authors](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-discussions?hsLang=en#course-authors) - [Student Experience](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-discussions?hsLang=en#student-experience) - [Atomic Author](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-author?hsLang=en) - [Atomic Socialize](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-socialize?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Release Notes](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-socialize?hsLang=en#release-notes) - [Atomic Curriculum Analysis Tool](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-curriculum-analysis-tool?hsLang=en) [![Atomic Jolt Logo Horiz Small](https://support.atomicjolt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Atomic%20Jolt%20Logo%20Horiz%20Small.png?width=164&height=60&name=Atomic%20Jolt%20Logo%20Horiz%20Small.png "Atomic Jolt Logo Horiz Small")](https://www.atomicjolt.com) Copyright © 2025, Atomic Jolt
