[Tex/LaTex] exam class: hide points but still be in grade table

exam

I am using the exam class to write my exercise sheets.
Now I want to have something like

Exercise 1 (5+5 points)

(a) lala

(b) lulu

but I still want to use \gradetable.

My Question would be if you can fill the grade table manual or hide points of \question because having it like above issues errors.

Add: I've tried

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{exam}                                                   
\noprintanswers 
\addpoints
\nopointsinmargin    

\begin{document}\parindent=0pt


\begin{center} %copied from handbook
\hqword{Aufgabe Nr.:}
\hpword{Punktzahl:}
\htword{\textbf{Summe}}
\hsword{Davon erreicht:}
\cellwidth{2.2em}
\settabletotalpoints{2334}
\gradetable[h][questions]
\end{center}


\begin{questions}
\uplevel{ \textbf{Exercise 1: (5+5 Points)}}
\question[3]\begin{enumerate}
\item lala
\item lulu
\end{enumerate}

\end{questions}

\end{document}

But instead of having 3 in the table I want to get 10 (=5+5).

Best Answer

May be like this.

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{exam}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\noprintanswers
\addpoints
\nopointsinmargin   %<---------------
%\pointformat{}    %<---------------
\qformat{\textbf{Exercise \thequestion:\quad (\thepoints)}\hfill}
\begin{document}\parindent=0pt


\begin{center} %copied from handbook
\hqword{Aufgabe Nr.:}
\hpword{Punktzahl:}
\htword{\textbf{Summe}}
\hsword{Davon erreicht:}
\cellwidth{2.2em}
\settabletotalpoints{2334}
\gradetable[h][questions]
\end{center}


\begin{questions}
%\uplevel{ \textbf{Exercise 1: (5+5 Points)}}
\question[10]
\begin{parts}
\part lala
\part lulu
\end{parts}

\end{questions}

\end{document}

or like this:

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{exam}
\usepackage[shortlabels]{enumitem}
\noprintanswers
\addpoints
\nopointsinmargin   %<---------------
\pointformat{}    %<---------------
\qformat{}
\renewcommand{\questionshook}{%
\setlength{\leftmargin}{0pt}%
\setlength{\labelwidth}{-\labelsep}%
}
\begin{document}\parindent=0pt


\begin{center} %copied from handbook
\hqword{Aufgabe Nr.:}
\hpword{Punktzahl:}
\htword{\textbf{Summe}}
\hsword{Davon erreicht:}
\cellwidth{2.2em}
\settabletotalpoints{2334}
\gradetable[h][questions]
\end{center}


\begin{questions}
\uplevel{\textbf{Exercise 1: (5+5 Points)}}
\question[10]
\begin{parts}
\vspace{-1.5\baselineskip}
\part lala
\part lulu
\end{parts}

\end{questions}

\end{document}

But I still don't get your claim

because having it like above issues errors

[Tex/LaTex] Grade table add points error in exam class

Instead of giving the total points at the top of the questions you can use the command \droptotalpoints to show the total points of that question at the end of the question.

\documentclass[12pt, addpoints]{exam}

\begin{document}

\begin{questions}
\question[10]
    Why is there air?
\question
    What if there were no air?
    \begin{parts}
        \part[5] Describe the effect on the balloon industry.
        \part[5] Describe the effect on the aircraft industry.
    \end{parts}

\droptotalpoints

\question[20]
\begin{parts}
    \part Define the universe. Give three examples.
    \part If the universe were to end, how would you know?
\end{parts}

\end{questions}

\begin{center}
\combinedgradetable[v][questions]

[Tex/LaTex] Determining total points in a section with exam class

This is another solution that uses a fake counter for printing fake question numbers.

First of all, we define the counter (which gets reset at each \section) and the format for titled questions and titled bonus questions:

\newcounter{fakecount}[section]
\qformat{\thefakecount. (\thepoints) \thequestiontitle\hfill}
\bonusqformat{\thefakecount. (\thebonuspoints) \thequestiontitle\hfill}

At the beginning of questions we redefine \titledquestion and \bonustitledquestion to increment the fake counter:

\let\oldtitledquestion\titledquestion
\renewcommand{\titledquestion}{\stepcounter{fakecount}\oldtitledquestion}
\let\oldbonustitledquestion\bonustitledquestion
\renewcommand{\bonustitledquestion}{\stepcounter{fakecount}\oldbonustitledquestion}

At this point, you only have to use \titledquestion instead of \question and \bonustitledquestion instead of \bonusquestion to let it work.

MWE (notice the use of \leavevmode before EnvFullwidth environments to avoid unwanted behaviors...)

\documentclass[11pt,addpoints]{exam}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\newcounter{fakecount}[section]
\qformat{\thefakecount. (\thepoints) \thequestiontitle\hfill}
\bonusqformat{\thefakecount. (\thebonuspoints) \thequestiontitle\hfill}

\begin{document}

\begin{questions}
\let\oldtitledquestion\titledquestion
\renewcommand{\titledquestion}{\stepcounter{fakecount}\oldtitledquestion}
\let\oldbonustitledquestion\bonustitledquestion
\renewcommand{\bonustitledquestion}{\stepcounter{fakecount}\oldbonustitledquestion}

\begin{EnvFullwidth}
\section{Short Answer}
\lipsum[2]
\end{EnvFullwidth}

\begingradingrange{section1}
\titledquestion{First Question}[5]
\titledquestion{Second Question}[5]
\endgradingrange{section1}

\leavevmode
\begin{EnvFullwidth}
\section{Multiple Choice}
\lipsum[2]
\end{EnvFullwidth}

\begingradingrange{section2}
\titledquestion{First Question}[2]
\titledquestion{Second Question}[2]
\endgradingrange{section2}

\leavevmode
\begin{EnvFullwidth}
\section{Extra Credit}
\lipsum[2]
\end{EnvFullwidth}

\bonustitledquestion{Bonus}[5]
\end{questions}

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{|r|c|c|}
 \hline
 \multicolumn{3}{|c|}{\textbf{Exam Score}}                           \\ \hline
 \textbf{Section} & \textbf{Points}                 & \textbf{Score} \\ \hline
 Short Answer     & \pointsinrange{section1}        &                \\ \hline
 Multiple Choice  & \pointsinrange{section2}        &                \\ \hline
 Bonus            & \numbonuspoints                 &                \\ \hline
 Total            & \numpoints                      &                \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
