Question weight is available for planners and graders in the Grading module. It allows the planner/grader to make adjustments during the grading process, such as removing a faulty question or adjusting the weight of the question.

The Question weights setting will automatically become available after a test is generated, and cannot be used once a candidate's final grade has been confirmed.
