I have a 75 question exam, multiple choice with 4 radio buttons for each answer. The radio button sets are named Q1, Q2, Q3 etc.

I want a calculate field that works out how many questions have been answered (even if the answer is incorrect) for example '66/75 answered'

I don't know javascript at all, please could someone give me the javascript for my calculate field for this?

Thanks in advance.

I suggest you devote some time studying these manuals related to LiveCycle and Acrobat JavaScripting.

The basic knowledge you'll get from reading these manuals will pay off down the road as you advance in your use of the features available in Acrobat and LiveCycle.

Have you looked at similar posts?

[url=http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=16006]Calculate radio buttons[/url] has code for counting the buttons, but you will need to modify this code to meet you situation. Also you may need to provide some method of determining the correct and wrong answers.
