If you discover an error in a published quiz that contains an existing multiple-answer question, use Quiz Regrade to revise the question and adjust students’ grades.

Notes:

  • Quiz Regrade applies only to students who have already submitted the quiz.

  • Adding or removing a question, or changing the point value of a multiple-answer question, does not activate the Quiz Regrade feature.

  • If you add or remove answers from a multiple-answer question that already has submissions, the option to regrade that question is disabled.
