Learn how to release test results

Updated over a week ago

One of the settings to choose from when creating and scheduling a test is what you want to show the students after they finish a test, in terms of results and worked-out solutions. This setting is found in the “Results” section of the “Settings” tab when scheduling a test.

These options are available to choose from:

Status: Revoke access/do not release

Description: Hides the test answers and the results from the student.

Students can review the test: No.

How does it look like for the student, right after they submit the test:

Status: Release test answers only

Description: Releases the given answers, but without feedback or score.

Students can review the test: Yes.
Students only see the answers they themselves have given on this test. They don’t see what the correct answers are and don’t see a score.

How does it look like for the student, right after they submit the test:

They can go into each question, but won't be able to change the results. They don't know if the answer is correct.

Status: Release test scores only

Description: Releases the overall test score (in a percentage), but nothing else.

Students can review the test: No.

No breakdown or information per question is shown.

How does it look like for the student, right after they submit the test:

Status: Release / release everything

Description: Shows answers, solutions and scores to the student.

Students can review the test: Yes.

Everything is shown to the students right away after submitting the test: an overall test score, a score per question, and also the correct answers (and worked-out solutions) if these are available.

How does it look like for the student, right after they submit the test:

They can go into each individual question.

Status: Release everything + "View results per section*" enabled

Description: Shows answers, solutions and scores to the student. Shows results per section/subject.

Students can review the test: Yes.

Everything is shown to the students right away after submitting the test: an overall test score, a score per question, and also the correct answers (and worked-out solutions) if these are available. Students can see their results per subject or per question.

How does it look like for the student, right after they submit the test:

They can see their results per section:

Or per question:

They can go into each individual question to review it.

Status: Custom

Description: Choose freely what parts of the test to release.

Students can review the test: Yes.
This option allows you to show: score, student's answers, score per question, and solutions. You can choose one or more of these, and they will be provided to the students directly after submitting the test.

How does it look like for the student, right after they submit the test:

(This example shows what happens if you choose "score" and "score per question".

Students can go into each question and see how much they scored. They will also see the questions, but not the answers.

How to change the release status after the test

This release status that was chosen when scheduling the test can also be changed at a later moment in the results section of a test. For example, if you chose "do not release" in your test settings, you will be able to choose "release" later on, once you have checked the answers.

To change the release status after the test is done, go into the Teacher environment to the "Tests" tab en open the test "Results".

Click on "Edit status" and choose one of the options:

Don't forget to select the names of the students that the new settings will apply to. When you are done, click "Save".

There are situations possible where you might want to release test results at a later moment, and not right after submission of the test. For example, you might want to wait to release correct answers until every student in a class has submitted the test. Or if you want to manually double-check that the automated grading worked as you expected it to (and optionally manually regrade questions).

In this same menu, it is also possible to revoke earlier granted access to the test results.

There's also an extra option here: deleted. This deletes the test and makes it unavailable to the student. Note that this cannot be undone.

Deleted tests do count as an attempt for the maximum number of attempts.


*View results per section

View results per section is an additional test setting you can find under "Results".

Results per section will only show if you choose "Release all" in the settings.
