When you assign an assessment, you can choose to "Allow Post-Grading Review." Enabling this setting allows students to review their assessment after it has been graded. For Simple and Advanced assessments, you can also choose whether or not to display correct answers.

💡 Tip: This setting can be enabled and disabled at any point, including after the assessment has been assigned.


Enable or Disable "Allow Post-Grading Review"

  • Step 1: While on the Assign page, scroll down to the Settings section to view the Allow Post-Grading Review and Show Correct Answers settings.

  • Step 2: Both Allow Post-Grading Review and Show Correct Answers are turned ON by default. This means that students will be able to review the graded assessment and also see any correct answers that have been set.

    • If you uncheck the box for Allow Post-Grading Review, students will be unable to view the assessment after it has been graded.

    • If you leave the box checked for Allow Post-Grading Review, but uncheck the box for Show Correct Answers, students will be able to review their responses in the graded assessment but will not see the correct answers.

FAQ and Troubleshooting

Click to see FAQ and troubleshooting details.

Can I allow for review if students have already finished the assessment?

Yes! You can edit assignment details at any time to allow the review.

Can students change any of their answers when they're reviewing their assessment?

No. Post-grading review gives them access to a read-only version of their completed assessment.

Can I allow students to see their own responses but not show them the answer key?

Yes. This can be done by selecting "Allow Post-Grading Review," but deselecting the option for "Show Correct Responses." Students will still be able to see if they have answered a question correctly or incorrectly, but they will not be able to see the correct response if an answer is marked incorrect.
