How do I globally suppress the display of points (for questions and for parts) in exam class?



I like to have the points display on the question sheet, but not on the answer (questions+solutions) sheet.



I tried nopointsinmargin but that did not work. It only shifted the displayed points to another location.



A minimum working example:



documentclass[answers]exam
%documentclassexam
%pointsinrightmargin
nopointsinrightmargin
begindocument
beginquestions
 question[5]
 How long is a piece of string?
 beginparts
 part[2] Define "piece".
 beginsolution
 A piece is dots
 endsolution
 part[3] Define string.
 beginsolution
 A string is dots
 endsolution
 endparts
 droppoints
endquestions
enddocument

    Welcome to TeX.SX!! Rather than posting code fragments it is better to give a full minimal working example. Currently we have to guess what packages etc you are using and this makes it really hard to help you. A MWE should start with a documentclass command, have a minimal preamble and then begindocument...enddocument. The code should compile and be as small as possible to demonstrate your problem.

You could add



ifprintanswerspointformatfi


to the preamble. The pointformat macro is used to define the formatting of the printed points, by leaving it empty nothing is printed. ifprintanswers means that pointformat is only used if the answers option is added to the class options.



Complete code, using an example from the manual.



documentclass[
% answers
]exam
ifprintanswerspointformatfi
begindocument
beginquestions
question[7] Who was the fifth Beatle? answerline[Murray the K]
question[5] What is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the
universe, and everything? answerline[42]
endquestions
enddocument


Without answers option:

            White Anglo-Saxon Protestant

            Image
            White Anglo-Saxon Protestants ( WASPs ) are a social group of wealthy and well-connected white Americans, of Protestant and predominantly British ancestry, who trace their ancestry to the American colonial period. Until at least the 1960s, this group has dominated American society and culture and dominated in the leadership of the Whig and Republican parties. They usually are very well placed in major financial, business, legal and academic institutions and had close to a monopoly of elite society due to intermarriage and nepotism. [1] During the latter half of the twentieth century, outsider ethnic and racial groups grew in influence and WASP dominance weakened. Americans are increasingly criticizing the WASP hegemony and disparaging WASPs as the epitome of "the Establishment". The Random House Unabridged Dictionary (1998) says the term is "Sometimes Disparaging and Offensive". [2] [3] The term WASP is often used as a pejorative to classify their historical dom...

            Conflict (narrative)

            Image
            Conflict in narrative comes in many forms. "Man versus man", such as is depicted here in the battle between King Arthur and Mordred, is particularly common in traditional literature, fairy tales and myths. [1] In works of narrative, conflict is the challenge main characters need to solve to achieve their goals. Traditionally, conflict is a major literary element that creates challenges in a story by adding uncertainty to if the goal would be achieved. A narrative is not limited to a single conflict. While conflicts may not always resolve in narrative, the resolution of a conflict creates closure or fulfillment, which may or may not occur at a story's end. Contents 1 Basic nature 2 Classification 2.1 Man against man 2.2 Man against nature 2.3 Man against self 2.4 Man against society 3 History 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Basic nature Conflict in literature refers to the different drives of the characters or forces involved.
