LearnPress Custom Negative Marking Plugin for WordPress | Smart Quiz Scoring Addon

The Learnpress Custom Negative Marking plugin turns guessing into a real cost to the examinee. It is common knowledge that, out of the box, LearnPress only lets you deduct the full question mark for a wrong answer. Real exams often use partial negative marking (e.g. −0.25 per wrong answer) to discourage random guessing and reward careful answering. Features of LearnPress Custom Negative Marking:

Fixed deduction— e.g. **−0.25** or **−1** point per wrong or skipped answer, regardless of question mark.

Percentage deduction — e.g. **25%** of the question’s mark per wrong/skip, so harder questions cost more to get wrong.

Per-quiz control— set a custom value (or leave empty for default behavior) in each quiz’s settings.

No core edits— works entirely via LearnPress hooks; safe to update LearnPress.

Works everywhere — applies when students submit the quiz, use Instant Check, or review completed attempts.
