I have created a short test with questions (sorry for the German text, it shouldn't matter though): enter image description here

Is it possible to have space for a score before the maximum points added?
I'm envisioning something like [____ / 18 VP]. This should not apply to partial points, but only the total points of a question.

Minimum Working Example:

% !TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
\documentclass[12pt]{exam}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}

\pointpoints{VP}{VP}
\bracketedpoints

\begin{document}
\begin{questions}

\question[18] Gebe bei Verben die Stammformen und bei Substantiven Genitiv und Genus an, als auch die Bedeutung der folgenden Vokabeln. Die Zahl in Klammern zeigt die Anzahl erwarteter Bedeutungen.
\begin{parts}
\part[2] blablabla
\end{parts}

\end{questions}
\end{document}

You can customize the points format with \pointformat (see documentation section 4.3.7).

% !TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
\documentclass[12pt]{exam}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}

\pointpoints{VP}{VP}
%\bracketedpoints
\pointformat{[\underline{\hspace{2em}}/\thepoints]}

\begin{document}
\begin{questions}

\question[18] Gebe bei Verben die Stammformen und bei Substantiven Genitiv und Genus an, als auch die Bedeutung der folgenden Vokabeln. Die Zahl in Klammern zeigt die Anzahl erwarteter Bedeutungen.

\end{questions}
\end{document}

  • Actually, when I have parts of questions, they will now also feature the underscore. How to only make the underscore apply for "main" questions? Edited my question to clarify this.

    Fixed it by adding \bracketedpoints before every part question.

    I was going to suggest using \totalformat and \droptotalpoints, but that would put the total points at the end of every question, not the beginning. Glad you found a solution that works for you though.
