Pear Assessment allows teachers and administrators to edit a test after it has been assigned to students. Edits are commonly used to fix incorrect answers or update content standards. If changes affect scoring, Pear Assessment prompts you to regrade the test so student results reflect the correction.
To edit an assigned test, you must have one of the following:
- Full permissions to all actions after the test has been assigned
- Assigner and co-author status when the test was in a draft state
- A test URL shared by an admin or teacher who has full permissions
