Regarding MCQ formats, you have numerous options to optimally customize your questionnaire. You can set the weighting for each question in the score calculation, allow multiple answers, and assign specific scores to each response option.
You can repeat this process to create additional questions and adjust the display order according to your preferences.

Adding and configuring this video can be done via "Account Management">"Presentation video". This approach helps create a positive and engaging first impression for interview participants.
Scoring an interview
When creating a Smart Interview, you have the flexibility to incorporate various types of questions and answers, including videos, audio files, text, as well as multiple-choice questions (MCQs). For MCQs, a range of features are available to you. You can create multiple-choice questions, determine whether a question contributes to the score calculation (with a score of 1 to 5 per question), choose whether answers have penalties or benefits, and specify correct or wrong answers.
Then, assign an overall appreciation score. This score is adjusted in real- time as other reviewers assign their own scores.
The score displayed corresponds to the average of the scores awarded by all the evaluators. To view the detailed comments of each reviewer, simply click on the score given to the participant.
Sharing the results with another user
Once the participant has responded, the lead reviewer may ask other colleagues or managers involved in the assessment to provide feedback on the candidate's responses. To do that, you have to go to "Evaluation Management" then "Past Evaluations", and then click "Report" to invite other reviewers.
Please note that it is not possible to invite managers who are not users of the platform. To do that, you have to go to "Evaluation Management"then "Past Evaluations", and then click "Report" to invite other reviewers.
