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. In Classic quizzes, 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. 

Note: Regrading will affect only submitted attempts. If you wish to regrade for all students, you must wait until all quiz attempts have been submitted.

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 Multiple Choice Questions
• 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.
