Hi! I am wanting to make a survey where the students will check only boxes that apply to themselves and then add up the number of boxes. I want to see if there is a code for count the number of boxes that are checked.

Coding for multi-select can be pretty tough because you have to account for all the combinations of items that could be selected. Do you think the statements could be placed in a table and then the student could place an X in an adjacent column? Coding for that would be a little easier. I can provide an example if you are interested.
I got it figured out. I did this:
a1=when B1_1.isSelected(1)1 otherwise 0
a2=when B1_1.isSelected(2)1 otherwise 0
a3=when B1_1.isSelected(3)1 otherwise 0
a4=when B1_1.isSelected(4)1 otherwise 0
a5=when B1_1.isSelected(5)1 otherwise 0
a6=when B1_1.isSelected(6)1 otherwise 0
a7=when B1_1.isSelected(7)1 otherwise 0
a8=when B1_2.isSelected(1)1 otherwise 0
a9=when B1_2.isSelected(2)1 otherwise 0
a10=when B1_2.isSelected(3)1 otherwise 0
a11=when B1_2.isSelected(4)1 otherwise 0
a12=when B1_2.isSelected(5)1 otherwise 0
a13=when B1_3.isSelected(1)1 otherwise 0
a14=when B1_3.isSelected(2)1 otherwise 0
a15=when B1_3.isSelected(3)1 otherwise 0
a16=when B1_3.isSelected(4)1 otherwise 0
a17=when B1_3.isSelected(5)1 otherwise 0
clus1total=numericValue("{a1}+{a2}+{a3}+{a4}+{a5}+{a6}+{a7}+{a8}+{a9}+{a10}+{a11}+{a12}+{a13}+{a14}+{a15}+{a16}+${a17}")
I don’t know why I didn’t think that would work for multi-select. I know I’ve tried using multi-select to display options that were selected on another screen so students could explain their reasoning, and I think that’s where you need all the combinations. Maybe I’m mistaken on that too. Good job figuring it out!
I wish I could take the credit, a nice person on the facebook group helped me!
You’re welcome. I saw it here too, and figured you’d get to it. 
When typing your code into the forum, use triple backticks on the line before and after your code, and it will display nicely (and not delete out certain characters).
