Edit Existing Test for Regrading
Pear Assessment allows teachers and administrators to modify and regrade assessments that have already been assigned. To make edits to an assignment, users should navigate to the Assignments tab, select the test they want to edit from the Actions drop-down box, and choose Edit Test. After making the necessary changes, users can save them and click Publish to apply the changes to the assigned classes. If edits affect scoring, users will be prompted to regrade the test. However, it’s not possible to remove an answer choice that a student has already selected and submitted. For editing tests created by other users, a separate resource is available.
Edit an Assigned Test for Regrading
Administrators and teachers can edit a test for regrading after it is assigned to students. Edits are common for fixing incorrect answers or content standards.
To edit a test, the administrator or teacher must have or be one of the following:
- Full permissions to all actions after the test has been assigned
- Assigner and co-author when the test was in a draft state
- Test URL shared with admins or teachers who have full permissions
