The Problem — And the Fix
Without Negative Marking…
Students game quizzes by guessing randomly
Without penalties, random guesses can still result in a pass — making your assessments meaningless.
Tutor LMS has no built-in negative marking
Course creators have had no native way to deduct marks for wrong or skipped answers — until now.
Managing penalties per quiz wastes hours
Setting quiz rules one by one across dozens of courses is tedious and error-prone.
With This Plugin…
Real exam discipline stops guessing cold
Point deductions make every answer consequential — students must rely on genuine knowledge.
Fill the gap Tutor LMS left open
Install once and immediately gain control over how your quizzes reward and penalise behaviour.
Global defaults + per-quiz overrides in one place
Set platform-wide rules once, then fine-tune any quiz in seconds using two intuitive toggles.
Everything You Need to Enforce Exam Standards
Negative Marks for Incorrect Answers
Deduct a configurable number of marks whenever a student selects a wrong answer, discouraging random guessing and rewarding genuine knowledge.
Negative Marks for Skipped Questions
Optionally penalise students who skip questions without answering, ensuring every unattempted item carries a consequence.
Apply Both Penalties Simultaneously
Enable negative marking for both incorrect answers and skipped questions at the same time for the strictest exam-grade assessment environment.
Global Negative Marking Settings
Set default negative mark values once across your entire Tutor LMS site so every quiz automatically inherits your platform-wide rules.
Per-Quiz Negative Marking Override
Override global settings for any individual quiz, giving you granular control to apply different deduction rules to specific courses or assessments.
Two-Toggle Lesson-Level Controls
Two intuitive toggles appear directly under your lesson settings — one for incorrect answers, one for skipped answers — making configuration fast and clear.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this plugin work with both Tutor LMS Free and Pro?
Yes. The Negative Marking Plugin is tested and compatible with both the free and Pro versions of Tutor LMS from version 1.9 onwards, and it is backward compatible with earlier supported builds.
Can I set different negative mark values for different quizzes?
Absolutely. The plugin provides global settings that apply across your entire site by default, and per-quiz overrides so you can assign unique deduction values to any individual quiz or course.
What if I only want to penalise incorrect answers but not skipped ones?
Each penalty type is controlled by its own toggle. You can enable negative marks for incorrect answers, leave the skipped-question toggle off, or activate both — entirely your choice.
My plugin is currently on a staging site. Can I move it to my live site?
Yes. If you activated your API licence on a staging environment first, simply email the support team with your request and they will issue a one-time additional API activation for your live domain at no charge.
How long do support and upgrades last after purchase?
Your purchase includes six months of dedicated support and 12 months of free upgrades. Any new version of the plugin released within that 12-month window is available to you at no extra cost.
