Once an assessment has been completed by students, it will display in Manage Assessments as “In Progress," if the testing window is still open, or “Closed,” if the testing window has ended. Users with permission may rescore In Progress and Closed assessments, which can include the following: change the point value of an item, change the correct answer or “rekey” the item, select standards or additional standards, and add/revise performance levels. Rescoring allows new reports to be generated, replacing the original set of reports.
Admin Level Users: Please see the Help document, System Admin: Permissions for Rescoring, for more information.
Where to Start
- From the Top Menu Bar, select Assessments.
- Find the desired assessment from the list in Manage Assessments. Select the Rescore button (key icon).
The Rescoring button will be bolded (enabled) if the assessment is In Progress or Closed and the user has the Create/Edit permission for this level of assessment.
Rescore Item Bank Assessment
After selecting the Rescoring icon, the user is taken to the Summary step (Item Bank Assessment), Answer Key step (AKO Assessment) or Assessment Info step (Performance Based Assessment) of the assessment setup process. The process is now Rescore Item Bank Assessment because there is student data available for the assessment.
