multiple settings for attempts and scheduling
utilization of question pools
LMS gradebook sync
Calculated by dividing the total points available by the number of items a student answered correctly. Depending on your course setup, summative assessment scores in the gradebook may represent one of the following:
1st attempt (the score of the student's 1st attempt)
Last attempt (the score of the student's last attempt)
Maximum (the student's best score of all attempts)
Average (the mean of all student's attempts)
The Answer Key
An Answer Key is available to instructors for summative assessment. It provides you with a view of all questions in the assessment, with all of the answers and feedback exposed. Summative assessments have multiple iterations, so you will see all question sets available, even if students are not exposed to all questions in a single attempt. The Answer Key therefore allows you to review the content without having to click through all the questions.
