If you need to edit the scoring of an assigned advanced assessment, you've come to the right place! This article is for editing assigned advanced assessments. If you are looking to edit the draft of an advanced assessment, head over to the assessment in your Drafts!
❗ We recommend making changes only after all students have submitted the assessment. If possible, try to avoid making any edits while students are still in progress.
Please Note:
Drafts and assigned assessments are two entirely independent resources. What does that mean?
Any changes you make to the draft of your assessment will NOT be reflected in the assigned assessment.
Any changes you make to the assigned assessment will NOT be reflected in the draft.
Edit the Scoring
The process described here is meant for changing the scoring parameters of the assigned assessment, for example:
Point value of question
Correct answer of question
Scoring method
Scoring type
Standards linked
We recommend making only changes that directly impact how students are being scored. For more extensive edits to the layout, question content, or number of questions in each item, we recommend making those in the draft of your assessment instead.
While in your assigned assessments, select the ellipsis and choose Edit.
You will notice a few differences between this editing view and the regular draft view:
The blue Editing indicator lets you know that you are not in the original draft, you are instead editing the assigned version.
You will see the number of classes this assessment has been assigned to. Click View Assigned Classes to see the specific classes:
This means that any edits you make here will impact the assigned version for all classes listed.

Make any changes you need to the scoring. Once you are finished, select the blue Save button in the upper-right corner. Confirm you'd like to make those changes by selecting Save Changes:

You will then be prompted to either Save Changes or Cancel:
Save Changes
This will save the changes you made and will regrade any assessments that have already been submitted.
💡 Tip: Based on the class size and server traffic, the regrading process may not happen immediately. When Save Changes is selected, the assessment is added to a queue of assessments to be regraded. While the assessment is in the queue to be regraded, it will have a status of Turned In. Once the regrading has taken place (assuming all manually graded questions have already been graded), the assessment will switch to a Graded status.
Cancel
You will return to the editing screen to continue making edits if needed.

Can I add a new item to the assessment?
While you can't add an entirely new item to the assessment, you can add a question to an existing item. Instead of adding a new item, try adding the additional content to an existing item.
If I manually graded any questions, will those scores be erased when it is regraded?
No, any scores you manually enter should remain.
Why do the assessments say Turned In instead of Graded?
When Save Changes is selected, the assessment is added to a queue of assessments to be regraded, the regrading process may not happen immediately. While the assessment is in the queue to be regraded, it will have a status of Turned In. Once the regrading has taken place (assuming all manually graded questions have already been graded), the assessment will switch to a Graded status.
How do I edit the draft version?
Head over to your Drafts assessments page, select the draft, and make any edits you need. Remember, those edits you make to the draft will not affect the assigned versions.
How do I make edits to an assigned locked assessment? What if the locked assessment is assigned to multiple classes?
The only one that can edit the assigned version of a locked assessment is the original creator of the assessment. Please reach out to the person that manages the particular assessment you need to fix, and see if they are able to make the edits needed. If the assessment is assigned to multiple classes, the assessment owner can edit the assessment in any class it has been assigned to, and it will be updated for all classes.
Who can edit the assigned assessment?
You can edit the assigned assessment as long as it is in the My Folders section of your draft assessments. For example, if it was an assessment assigned from an administrator account, or if it is a locked assessment that was shared with you, you will not have the ability to edit.
