Logger - which variable to do I choose to find out participants accuracy

jones7988

Sorry, I know this probably seems like a stupid question, but I am unsure which variables I should use to log users accuracy. I know how to get this in feedback, but I am unsure how I get this information to be able to log it. The only data I wish to retrieve from this experiment really is the number of questions the participant gets correct, their accuracy in other words. Potentially it could be useful to know which questions they got wrong, but the main thing is accuracy. I don't wish to log all variables as I am still unsure which ones are actually helpful, so was hoping that someone could help me as to which ones I need to log for this. My experiment is attached if that helps?

Hi,

Please do log all variables, especially if you're unsure what kind of information you need later. It's easy to remove a few irrelevant columns afterwards, but impossible to add data that was never logged!

Other than that, it sounds like you want to have the variable correct (and possibly sum it).
