Categorizing questions in your exam can be a great way to measure the score per category and get insight into your participants' knowledge.
One exam can cover several subjects. That will generate a general score at the end of the exam. Classifying questions by category in your exam can be useful for measuring scores per subject and gaining insight into your participants' knowledge.
