If instructors identify questions that are ambiguous or have incorrect answers in quiz attempts that have already occurred it is possible to change the correct answer in a quiz question and regrade attempts.

In New quizzes, the regrading method will vary by question type, with some questions allowing corrections to the points and answer choices and others allowing corrections to the points only. If you are using Classic quizzes (not recommended), you can regrade only Multiple-Choice, Multiple-Answer, and True/False questions after supplying the corrected answer choice and/or changing the question's point value (if required). 

Regrading is not available for Essay or File Upload questions in either quiz type. 
 

Regrading New Quiz Questions

Question regrades are triggered through the SpeedGrader -- either from the course Quizzes page or from within the gradebook -- or from the Moderate page in the quiz build area. Regrading any question for a single student will regrade that question for all the students who have taken the quiz. (Instructors who need individual students to have different scores on a quiz can change their scores on questions or use Fudge points.)

Access from the gradebook main page:

Open the Grades tab, go to the SpeedGrader for the item you wish to regrade:

Access from an individual student's grades view:

Open the Grades tab and click on the individual grade for the student and the item you wish to regrade:

Access from the Quizzes page:

To change the answers or points for the entire class, click on Regrade in any required question and make changes - either by changing the correct answer (if the option is available) and/or the points value (if required). To change an individual student score, adjust any question's points dropdown:

Regrade Classic Quiz Questions

Classic quiz regrade only works with specific quiz question types and only applies to students who have already taken the quiz.

Currently, Classic quiz regrade is available for Multiple Choice, True/False, and Multiple Answers question types.

• Learn how to regrade True/False questions
• Learn how to regrade Multiple-answer questions

Adding or removing a question does not trigger the quiz regrade feature. Additionally, changing the point value for a quiz question does not trigger a quiz regrade; the student's submitted quiz will show the updated point value, but the current grade won't change in the Gradebook. If you have edited your quiz in one of these three ways, you should moderate the quiz and let the student retake the quiz.

Important note: Updating a question for regrade changes the question in the quiz. It does not change the question in a question bank.

1. To change any Multiple Choice, Multiple Answer, or True/False question, open the quiz:

2. Click on the Questions tab:

3. Click the pencil icon to edit the question:

4. When you click to select the corrected answer, the green arrow will move, and you will be presented with the regrade options:

The options may be slightly different depending on the question type. For a detailed explanation of the possible effects of regrading choices, see: What options can I use to regrade a quiz in a course?
