That is a very unclear question, so it depends what you mean. If you mean you have someone typing in answers to a test and want to count the amount of correct answers they have, there are different ways you could do it. In the cell beside each answer given, you could put a 1 for a correct answer and a 0 for a wrong one and then total them up using the SUM function. If you have the correct answer in a cell and their answer in another one, you could use an IF function to compare the answers, and give 1 for a correct one and 0 for wrong ones, and again use SUM to total them. So say the correct answers were in the cells from A2 to A10 and you entered their answers in B2 to B10. Then in C2 you could put the following formula:

=IF(A2=B2,1,0)

You would copy that formula down to C10, and you'd have 1 for each correct answer and 0 for the wrong ones. Then in C11 you could put the following formula to add them up:

=SUM(C2:C10)

You would naturally adjust the cell references to suit the cells you are using in all of these formulas.
