This article explains how to use the real-time grading option, allowing users to see the changes in their test scores immediately after submitting each answer.
During the test-taking process, the candidates will be presented with:
Symbols and Colors to Indicate Question Status:
White: The question is not answered.
Yellow: The question is skipped because the “I don’t know” option was selected.
Blue: The question is answered. (When real-time grading is enabled, the field will be blue when the instructor must rate the question.)
Green: The question is answered correctly. This color is used only when real-time grading is enabled.
Red: The question was answered incorrectly. This color is used only when real-time grading is enabled.
Progress Bar: Displays the current success on the test (number of achieved points or percentage of completed questions). This feature is only available when real-time grading is enabled.
If enabled, candidates cannot go back to previous questions.
Recommendations:
Enable this option for official tests with real-time grading to prevent candidates from changing answers after seeing if they were correct.
Disable this option for practice tests to allow candidates to learn and practice using the additional real-time grading features like answer resetting.
