The available answer keys vary according to the type of course:
Flex, Prescriptive and Sequential Courses
Pre-tests (prescriptive pathway only) and post-tests are built from banks of questions related to the course objectives covered in each course module. Each objective in GradPoint has a bank of 10 or 20 questions. For each objective covered in a test, a random selection of five questions are taken from the bank.
For example, if there are five objectives covered in a course module, when a student starts a pre-test or post-test for that module, GradPoint randomly selects five questions from each of the five objective banks for a total of 25 questions.
Because the questions covered in each test are randomly selected, corresponding answer keys are created dynamically and are accessed through the gradebook.
Access answer keys from a student submission using the gradebook
- After a student completes a pre-test or post-test, administrators, teacher-authors, and teachers can access the answer key for that test by opening the gradebook for the corresponding course.
- In the gradebook, find the score for the test you want, and then click on that score. This will open a window giving the total score and each question presented in the student's test. The correct answer will be shown as well as the student's answer if different from the correct answer. Unfortunately, answer keys for quizzes in lessons are not available.
