C-Scores are our responsive quizzing metric for Gold and Platinum users. We record all the data about the questions asked and the student responses and display them in an easy to interpret graphic to help you choose the most powerful questions for your Quizzes.
Carousel's Education Director, Adam Boxer, talks you through C-Scores and how they can turbo-charge your Quizzes, in this video and blog.

What is a C-Score?
The C-Score (or Carousel-Score) is a metric between 0-15 to help facilitate 'Responsive Quizzing', by giving each question a score that takes into account each of the following 3 factors:
- How many times it has been included in a Quiz (for the class/year group selected).
- How many weeks since it was last included in a Quiz, (for the class/year group selected).
- The average % correct from the most recent Quiz (with 1+ response) where the question was included (for the class/year group selected).
The higher the C-Score the stronger the recommendation that you ask this question to this class/group at this point in time.
This will be because either the question has not yet been asked (which will automatically score a 15) or because of a combination of the above 3 factors.
Where to See C-Scores and How to Use Them
- Create a new Quiz.
- Click SELECT QUESTIONS.
- Select the class, classes or year group from the dropdown menu at the top of the page to pull in C-Score data.
- Selecting multiple classes or a year group will produce aggregate data for the classes or year group selected.
- The average C-Score of the questions selected will be displayed at the top of the table.
- Filter or refine the C-scores by using the functions at the top of the table to help your selection further.
- Click on the C-SCORE column to organise the questions by their C-Score from high to low or low to high.
- Use the cog icon to filter by score (we recommend a minimum of 9, but you know your class!).
- Press SELECT RANDOM with the C-Scores filtered to quickly select questions in the desired range.
- Hover over the coloured line (the longer and darker the line, the higher the question's C-Score) to see a pop-up with the breakdown of the C-Score for that question, based on the 3 key factors:
How are C-Scores Calculated?
- C-Scores are calculated using any Homework Quizzes that have been set and have had a minimum of 1 student response.
- Study Pack Quizzes are not considered in the calculations.
- C-Scores are only assigned if 1+ question from the same topic has been used in a Quiz for the class/year group selected, otherwise the question will have TOPIC NOT ASKED in place of a C-Score.
- If a question has not been used in a Quiz for the class/year group selected but other questions from the same topic have, then the question is automatically assigned 15 points.
- Platinum users can choose to include Whiteboard quizzes in the C-Score calculations.
NEW! C-Scores for Shared Classes
If you share a class with one or more other teacher, any questions asked to the class from the same Question Bank by any of the teachers will contribute to the C-Scores.
- If the you and your colleagues have different versions of the same Question Bank, only questions that are 'in common' have their C-Scores shared.
- Question Banks can be updated to the latest version by clicking on the update icon next to the Question Bank on your dashboard and confirming the changes.
- If an editable copy of a Question Bank is made then the C-Scores generated from Quizzes that use the editable copy are separate and do not contribute to the C-Scores of the 'original' Question Bank.
Whiteboard C-Scores (Platinum only)
To include the Whiteboard Quiz in your C-Score data:
- Select the class that the Whiteboard Quiz is being set for, in the 'optional' CLASS field.
- If a class is not included here, you will not be able to activate the sliders on the Whiteboard quiz to record the scores.
- This is optional as you can choose to not include the Whiteboard Quiz in Analysis and future C-Score calculations.
To view C-Score data to inform your question choice for the Whiteboard Quiz:
- Select the class or year group at the top of the 'Select Questions' page to display their current C-Score data.
- You can do this even if you don't intend to include the Whiteboard Quiz in your calculations.
Help!
The C-Scores aren't loading when I try to select the questions!
If C-Scores are not loading when you are selecting questions for a Quiz, you may need to do a hard reload of your browser tab (PC: CTRL + F5 / Mac: COMMAND + SHIFT + R). If this doesn't work, drop us a message help@carousel-learning.com.
