Mark a Quiz

Once the student attempts the quiz and submits it, you can review and mark it. 

Schoolbox lets you review and mark a quiz in two ways: 

• Review Attempt - this is where you can mark all questions for a particular student.
• Review horizontally - this is where you can mark all attempts for the entire class and finalise the quiz.
• Rescore all attempts - this is where you can manually rescore all attempts in a quiz on demand.
• Quickmark a Quiz - this is where you can quickmark the student’s grade from the quiz status page.

To mark a quiz for a particular student:

1. Go to your class page.
    
2. On your class page, via the course outline, select the 3-dot menu icon for a quiz activity.
    
3. Select View Status.
   This opens the Status page for the quiz that awaits your review.
    
4. Select Review Attempt for the student who submitted the quiz.
   This opens the quiz for you to review and mark.
    
5. The overall grade will be automatically updated based on the marks earned for each question. You can also manually update the overall grade. 
   If you've manually updated the overall grade to something other than the total of the question scores, you must select Assign [score] from item scores.
    
6. When done, select Finalise review.
   You’ve now reviewed and marked the quiz for a student.

As a school staff, you can rescore a quiz to correct scores when an authoring oversight or a misconfiguration in a Question has resulted in students receiving incorrect autoscores for their responses.
