Choosing which answers count towards the total

Where a paper says answer any three of seven, the teacher can replace the selection that was made automatically and name exactly which of the answers count towards the total. Every answer already carries a mark of its own, so changing the choice needs no re-marking at all.

How it is done today

A student answers four and three will count, but which three is often the teacher's judgement. Some institutions count the first three, others the ones the student did best on. That policy belongs to the institution, not to the software.

How it works

  1. 1

    See what was selected

    Which answers were counted under the rule, and which were set aside, are both shown separately.

  2. 2

    Make your own selection

    The teacher names which answers count within a choice set, rather than simply changing how many count.

  3. 3

    The marks already exist

    Answers that were set aside are already marked, so changing the selection needs no re-marking and costs no credits.

  4. 4

    Saved in the same place

    The selection is saved alongside the mark and feedback corrections, so there is no separate step to go through.

What runs on its own, what stays in your hands

What happens automatically

Every answer is marked in advance, including the ones not being counted, so a changed selection takes effect at once.

What you control

Which answers count is the institution's policy, not the software's. The final choice stays with the teacher.

Frequently asked questions

Does changing the selection cost credits?

No. Every answer already carries a mark, including those not counted, so changing the selection is not a re-mark and costs nothing.

Can you just change how many count?

The teacher names which answers count rather than setting a number. That keeps it clear afterwards exactly which three were counted.

Are the marks on set-aside answers visible?

Yes. Answers that were not counted are still marked and their marks are shown; they are simply not added in. So you can compare before choosing.

Can the selection be changed while marking runs?

No. It can be changed once marking has finished, because it is saved alongside the mark and feedback corrections.
