Marking Responses as Correct or Incorrect

You can use the Review Workspace to mark selected answers as correct or incorrect. If you are reviewing a document with a correct answer already marked, you can change the correct answer. In a Multiple Choice question with multiple responses, you can add additional correct answers.

If the Show Correct Answer box is checked, answers marked as correct are highlighted in green.

The software reevaluates the data based on the correct responses, and the Data View pane updates the view to reflect the changes.

To mark a response as correct:

In the Student pane, right-click a student and click Mark as Correct.
In the Data View pane, right-click a response and click Mark Selected Correct.
In the Data View pane, click a response and click Mark Selected Correct in the Review Tools pane.

In Multiple Choice questions with multiple answers, check marks are displayed next to the responses.

Click a check mark to mark a response as correct.

When you mark a response as incorrect, the software removes the green highlight.

To mark a response as incorrect:

In the Student pane, right-click a student and click Remove as Correct.
In the Data View pane, right-click a response and click Mark Selected Incorrect.
In Multiple Choice questions with multiple answers, click the green check mark.

Note: If you change an answer to correct or incorrect, any points you already manually awarded students for correct or incorrect answers will not be changed.

When you mark responses, the following actions occur in the different question types.
