Also known as penalty scoring or deductive marking, it is a scoring method where a certain number of marks are deducted for each incorrect answer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It encourages participants to only answer questions they are reasonably certain about. The purpose of negative marking is to discourage guessing and promote thoughtful responses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus the primary objective of negative marking is to maintain fairness and precision in assessing candidates&#8217; knowledge and skills, ultimately identifying the most qualified individuals for the job or course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, it also helps maintain the standard of the examination and reduces the chance of cheating and malpractices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-set-negative-markings-in-google-forms\">How to set negative markings in Google Forms?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Google Forms doesn\u2019t have the ability to add negative grading which is not affecting much or a disadvantage per se. However, what if we say that you can have the advantage of upgrading your tests\/quizzes by adding negative grading in Google Forms?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You won\u2019t miss the chance, right? So, to make Google Forms created assessments and quizzes more cutthroat and challenging for participants, we will go through the tutorial to add negative grading in Google Forms with the help of none other than the <a href=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.space\/blog\/extendedforms-vs-other-quiz-apps\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.space\/blog\/extendedforms-vs-other-quiz-apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ExtendedForms app<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is the newest feature of the app that has come out and what better way to than a tutorial to explain how it works?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"1-setup-a-google-form\">1.
