Changing the grading for an Assessment

EP Assessments enable you to adjust grading when needed - even after an Assessment has been completed by students already!

Getting Started

Start by navigating to your Library tab. Find the assessment that you wish to change the grading for.

Begin editing the assessment by right clicking, then clicking Edit Exam.

Click Edit to begin making changes.

If the assessment has already been assigned to students, you'll be prompted to either make a new copy; or edit the live exam.

To update the grading options on the assigned exam, select Limited exam editor.

You will then be able to make edits as outlined in the below sections.

The Limited Exam Editor option will only appear for content that is owned by you. You can see who the current owner of the exam is by clicking the exam and looking at the sidepanel.

You will also not be able to use the Limited Exam Editor option if your exam is shared to public. You can resolve this by selecting More and the Make Private to school.

Note that if you change the grading, any marking you have already done will be wiped and you'll need to begin again.

Changing the Grading

You can change your assessment grading from a percentage score to an NCEA grade score. Click Settings at the top of the page and select Grading options.
