Question: Is it possible to remove the 0 point values in the gradetable using the exam document class to produce a potentially useful table for exercise sheets and the like?

Here's my idea:

\documentclass[10pt,addpoints]{exam}

\begin{document}

\begin{questions}
\question Is it true that \(x^n + y^n = z^n\) 
if \(x,y,z\) and \(n\) are positive integers? Explain.

\question Prove that the real part of all non-trivial zeros of the function
\(\zeta(z)\) is \(\frac{1}{2}\) \ldots

\question Another question.
\end{questions}

\gradetablestretch{2}
\cvqword{Problem}
\cvpword{Understood}
\cvbpword{Confused}
\cvtword{Cumulative:}
\cvsword{\phantom{someemptytext}Note\phantom{someemptytext}}
\combinedgradetable[v]

\end{document}

enter image description here

The idea is that students could have a sort of cover sheet for homework exercises or similar assignments and they could easily keep tabs on the problems they felt like they understood or did not (so as to facilitate classroom discussion or asking questions). I also thought having a column just to jot down a note would be useful. It looks like I can exploit some of the options made available for exam, but the main issue is that I cannot make a gradetable without using the addpoints feature.

I tried looking at the package documentation and even exam.cls as to how I might go about a dirty solution, but alas I cannot figure out anything effectively.

Ultimately, I would like to have blank spaces where the 0s currently are and remove the bottom row altogether (I tried cumulative instead of total to dream up something possibly of use, but it's an infinite stretch).

I thought about trying to somehow duplicate the style of the Note column (which usually lists the score later to be filled in by the instructor), but I did not see how to possibly do this by looking at the class file or package documentation.
