# Score by choice
Score by choice allows you to issue a custom amount of points or penalties per answer option.
To enable score by choice on a question, open up the question in the quiz builder and select the 'Marking' tab. In there you will find the check box to enable score by choice, make sure you click 'Save' after.

If you would like to enable to ability to add negative marks to an option you will need to enable negative scoring. This is done at the quiz level in the 'Scoring' tab. [Here is our help document on negative scoring](/doc/quizzes/creating-a-quiz/scoring-on-synap-points-vs-credits/negative-scoring.md)

Enabling score by choice on a question
Once you have enabled score by choice and saved the settings you can head back to the 'Answer' tab to begin setting credit values per option.
Applying credits to a correct option

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://academy.synap.ac/doc/quizzes/creating-a-quiz/scoring-on-synap-points-vs-credits/score-by-choice.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
