By default, InfoPath will represent a choice field as a drop-down. To show it as a radio button form, you will need to manipulate it in InfoPath.
Select the control on the canvas and then change the control to an option button
The result looks like this:
Copy and paste the one option button as many times as required.
Now manually type the option ...

High level steps for an InfoPath browser form:
You don't need any fields in the main data source, but you need a secondary data source to the list, including all the fields you want to show in the form.
You will need code to get a URL parameter into the InfoPath form. There is a plug-in for InfoPath from Qdabra Software called "qRules" that loads DLL's ...

Create another field in the list for the grade. In the InfoPath form, set the value of that field to "1" if answered correctly. Then create a view or a DVWP that aggregates the correct answers. If you want to show the total points in the IP form, you need to add a secondary data source to the same list, pull all the values for the current user and total ...

You might consider using something like InfoPath DB (http://infopathdb.codeplex.com/) which is a codeplex project that can be used to query the raw XML as a datasource as JT mentioned, though without you having to write the actual code. This would make it possible to get the data even if the fields/columns were not previously defined in the SharePoint ...

You could expose certain InfoPath fields as columns in the SharePoint form library. (These fields can be configured in the form publishing wizard.) Then you could view the libraries as spreadsheets. However, this would only work for forms that have been submitted after the field were exposed.
To get data that has already been submitted, I think you will ...

This can only be done with code. You'd either need to write it yourself or use a tool called qRules from Qdabra Software. It's like an add-on for InfoPath that provides functionality that is not available out of the box. It's not free, but it costs less than a day's developer time.

There are 2 aspects to using an InfoPath form with a list/library:
When using a Forms Library to store data as XML with optionally promoted fields (we are not considering Administrator published forms via SP-CA)
When directly changing the edit form with InfoPath.
For both situations, you need to understand whether the Content type has previously been ...

This is not an uncommon problem in SharePoint but there are workarounds available. You could make all cases in lowercase and you'll get a match even when there's a case difference. In InfoPath you would do the following to translate all upper cases to lower cases:
translate(userNameField, "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWYXZ", "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwyxz")
The ...

I had the same problem a while ago, I wrote a blog article detailing how I came up with a solution.
http://blog.ianchivers.com/2012/10/packaging-infopath-forms-into-site.html
I ended up creating a Visual Studio solution with a feature to deploy the InfoPath form that could modify the data connections.
Hope this helps,
Ian.

InfoPath won't know which value to use if it is in a repeating section or is a repeating field (a "list" of sorts which allows you to add multiple values for any one field/group of fields). Either remove it from the repeating section or choose one of the functions to use. I'd wager that you want the former option. FYI, I believe "merge" will include all ...

Unfortunately it's the nature of the beast. Groups are a good idea. I found that if you're using InfoPath 2013, if you move fields around, then they should rebind themselves. Not sure in 2010, I'm guessing that's not the case. Also in SP2013, when you click a field on the form, it auto-highlights the associated field in the data manager. I don't recall this ...
