Use Speed Scoring
Speed scoring awards points proportionally based on how quickly a participant responds. Any slide with
correct or point value answers marked can be used for speed scoring. Speed scoring calculates points
based on when polling opens and closes or the length of a countdown when a Countdown Indicator is
used.
Below is an example that assumes polling remained open for ten seconds or a Countdown Indicator set at
ten seconds was used.
Example: Answer A is given a point value of 10 points. When polling opens, if the participant selects
answer A immediately, they will receive 10 points. As time progresses, the point value decreases. If the
participant selects answer A with 5 seconds left, they receive 5 points. If the participant does not select an
answer before polling closes or the timer hits zero, they receive no points.
Before You Begin
To use speed scoring, set points for one or more answers on the slide. Find information on setting points in
Set Point Values from the Settings Window on page 83or Set Point Values on a TurningPoint Slide on
page 89.
