Scoring an Approximate Solution Type Question

Approximate Solution questions are automatically scored based on a custom checker. Without a custom checker, they are scored like coding questions, using test cases to determine the final score.

For coding questions, the question setter defines individual test cases with input-output pairs. Each test case has an assigned score, and the total possible score is the sum of all test case scores.

When a custom checker is used, it runs once for each test case. During the test, candidates' code is tested with each test case input. The custom checker evaluates and scores each test case, and the candidate's final score is the sum of these scores.

Refer to Creating a Custom Checker to understand the custom checker.
