Re-Grading a Test Question
You may realize that a question on your test or quiz is set up incorrectly after students have started or completed the test. You can make changes to the question and/or scoring even after students have taken the test. There are options to change which response is correct, award full credit to all students, or remove the question from the test.

- Click the Full Grade Center link under Grade Center on your course menu, under Course Management and Control Panel.
- Navigate to the Test you would like to make changes to using the horizontal scroll bar.
- Click the Action Button next to the name of the test in the header of the Full Grade Center.
