How to calculate the mark?

Aquos (21)
Hey guys, ignore the ridiculous question down there, i just trying to figure out how to calculate the mark after the user pick the abcd option and at the last program, the user will be show their result based on their options, example q1, the user pick a that represent 5 mark, and q2 the user pick b that represent 3 mark, how to show to the user that their score is 8 after the end of personality test session?

Make a counter. If A is always +5, B +3, C +1 (or somesuch) and D +0, make it so that if the answer is A, mark += 5, else if it's B, mark += 3, et cetera.
