Hey my good man. You can set the points per question in the settings for the plugin.

But it does add the points together when a question is correct?

Yip, you'll have a multiplier that you can edit in the plugin .m file that also adds to the score. It does accumulate points if that is what you mean.

So if the increment was 1 point per answer, and you got 4/5 right, you would get 4 points?

That is correct, if you don't use the multiplier.

How do you disable the multiplier? (Or how does it work?)

been a LONG time since I did. Did you go through the .m file? I'll have a peek when on laptop if you can't see it.

It sounds like you don't want the multiplier for your app, but if you have a competitive quiz it's very useful for getting a better range of scores on a leaderboard.

I agree with the above from melon head. If you plan on integrating Game Center is a good differentiator, especially if you have a large bank of questions.
