You may have questions that are more challenging than others. For these more challenging questions, you may decide to designate a higher point value for these questions. You may also wish to do the opposite and appoint a lower value for easier questions. For these scenarios, you can change the weight of questions.
STEP 1: Select “Options” then “Change Weight”
