So if you have right answer, have used the right method, etc. you're given 5 points for that question. But if only, as in your case, the answer is correct but not the method, you'll only be given like 1-2 points. I think that's a good way of doing it. <br /><br />Very nice blog, I've enjoyed reading your posts.
