I scored 0 out of 65?

This seems a little unfair. Nearly all the 'mistakes' were due to punctuation - leaving out a dash or comma at the end of the phrase, or using a full stop instead of an exclamation mark. Also, I could have done with a reminder of how to get the accents to work. Most of the wording matched Kwiziq's version to a greater or lesser extent. So, 0 out of 65 seems a little harsh and doesn't exact encourage me to try another of these writing exercises. Also, there was no clear instruction how to finish the exercise.

Bonjour Brigid,

I'm sorry that the scoring instructions aren't clear. When you complete a writing or dictation exercise, it's important to self-mark each sentence using the star system (under each submitted/corrected answers). If you don't do this, Kwizbot assumes that you haven't submitted a score. It will then record your result as zero even if your answers were actually correct. That's why you saw a score of 0. We received feedback a while ago from users who were not interested in scoring their own answers which is why we decided to put this system in place. However, if you do wish to score yourself in order to get a better picture of your progress/performance, do not forget to do so using the star system.

In order to write/type accents, you can take a look here: 

How can I type accents?

 

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
