In these cases, we recommend updating the marks as after the submitted attempts, the questions can no longer be adjusted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can do this in different ways depending on the following conditions\/circumstances:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Condition 1: The entire question will need to be removed\/ignored from the attempts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Condition 2: The correct answer under a multiple choice needs to be swapped to another choice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Condition 3: The questions were pre-selected so that all students get the same package of questions even if they are displayed in a different order.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Condition 4: The questions were randomly selected so that for example, out of 100, 30 were randomly selected for the students which means they all got a different set of questions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
If the first three conditions apply to your quiz, you may be able to automatically update the marks for student attempts in one go without the need to navigate to each attempt. However, if not as you have a randomised question set (condition 4), you will need to manually update the marks for each attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this article, we will show you how to manually update marks for each attempt. This means that you will need to provide the maximum point to each student who got this question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
