Update Scoring
From the Test Key list in TEKScore, click the Edit icon next to a test. Click on the Scoring tab. Change the Factor to zero (0) to collect data for the items without counting the score against the students. This can be done before or after students have tested, and will rescore the tests when the factor change is saved.
Override Answers
Instantly update student scores by overriding certain item types from Responses/Online Sessions or Responses/Override in TEKScore.
Math Tips
Equation Editor and Math Inline Text items must be an exact match to receive credit. In addition, both item types do not allow for commas to be entered as part of the response.
