Make sure each question laid out is totally enclosed within a single container. Within this container you can lay out the question the way you want. The algorithm used to place the unanswered question notes icon to the left upper corner of the question relies on this assumption.
Logically group radio buttons once you layout every page of the assessment .
Check boxes cannot be logically grouped currently in CALM and each checkbox should be mapped to a single score currently.
Associatiate scores with individual form fields (text field, dropdown , textarea field, individual checkboxes) or logical groups (radio buttons).
Group every component that constitutes a question as a question for each question in the assessment.
