Mark a test (Ultra)

Why would I need to mark a test?

Tests will need to be manually marked if you include questions that do not have automatic marking i.e. the Essay question type. You may also need to mark a test if you have accidentally selected an incorrect answer on an automatically marked question or there is an issue with a question in the test.
