There may be a time when students have completed a quiz/exam, and you have discovered a problem with a question in the exam’s total points. Possible scenarios are:
- Decide to throw out a poor question and not count it.
- Discover the answer specified as correct in the quiz is actually wrong. You want to correct the error and regrade the exam.
- Discover that a short-answer question is not automatically grading the answer correctly because some students have used capital letters while others have not.
- Missed changing the value of a question from the Moodle default of 1 pt, and you want that question to be worth more points.
- Want the quiz's total score to be X points instead of the Y points as it was originally set.
Moodle will allow you to make these types of changes to a quiz question or exam and then run a re-grading of the exam. You will get a warning that the quiz already has attempts, but you can still change the value of the questions or quiz and the correct choice.
