Managed assessments: Rescoring (AMP)

Rescoring overview

Assessment team members may need to alter the correct answer setup in a managed assessment after students have already completed it. If any edits change the correct answer, the existing submissions can now be automatically rescored.

Rescoring is available on the following question types only:

Multiple choice
True or false
Matching
Ordering
Fill in the blank text
Fill in the blank dropdown
Fill in the blank drag and drop
Label image
Highlight hotspot
Highlight text
Number line
Chart

Rescore submissions

Since scores are based on the assessment content and answer criteria at the time the assessment began, rescoring should not be run while students are still taking the assessment.

Select AMP and choose Assessment Teams.
Select the relevant Assessment Team.
Click the question bank title.
Navigate to the desired question in the question bank and edit Correct Answer Setup.
Click Save.
Click Confirm to update all managed assessments that contain the edited question.
Optionally, select Rescore Submissions to rescore any existing submissions for the item you saved. Alternatively, select Don’t Rescore to opt out of rescoring existing submissions. If you select Don’t Rescore in error, you can navigate back to edit question mode and select Rescore submissions.

After submissions are rescored, students’ submissions remain as they appeared at the time of submission. This preserves the integrity of the original item and responses.

Submission scores are based on the answer choices selected, not the content of the answer choices.
To ensure accurate rescoring:
- Do not edit the text of answer choices in a way that changes the correct answer.
- If you need to reorder answer choices, use drag and drop in Rescore Submissions to adjust the order instead of editing the text directly. Editing text does not trigger a rescore.

If you add new content, such as additional answer choices, the rescore may not function as expected, since existing submissions won’t include the new content. In these cases, consider creating a new assessment instead of rescoring.

Rescored results are automatically updated in both the assessment and the gradebook.

Frequently asked questions

Question

Answer

Which type of edits generate a rescore?

If you edit the Correct Answer Setup, this will generate a rescore for existing submissions.
If you edit Possible Answers in a matching question, this will generate a rescore for existing submissions. For example, if you correct a misspelled answer choice and rescore submissions, existing submissions will be scored incorrectly since the selected answer does not match exactly with the updated answer. In this case, you should save your changes and opt out of rescoring.
If you remove answer options or add new content, such as additional possible answers or options, this will generate a rescore. However, since new content is being added, consider creating a new assessment rather than rescoring.
If you change answer options to lowercase or uppercase in matching, fill-in-the-blank dropdown, fill-in-the-blank drag and drop, label image, and number line, this will generate a rescore for existing submissions. These question types are case sensitive.
Point label content in charts is also case sensitive. Any edits in this area will generate a rescore for existing submissions.
If you enable or disable the case-sensitive option in a fill-in-the-blank question, this will generate a rescore for existing submissions.

Will submissions be rescored if a student is currently taking the assessment?

No. If you edit the Correct Answer Setup and generate a rescore while students are currently taking the assessment, these submissions will not be automatically rescored.
