Overview
There may be times where you would like to change a test question score or would like to give everyone full credit for a test question. For example, you may have chosen the wrong answer, found a typo, or want to adjust points or scoring options.
We always recommend caution when editing a live test as this may cause complications in some cases if students have answered the questions. It is best to make changes after the test duration is over.
