Alternative title - Setting time limits, Posting scores, automated feedback and resetting test attempts
Deciding which options to choose in the test settings can depend on what type of questions you are using, how you would like to display marks and feedback to students and when marks, correct answers and feedback will be available for students to view. Blackboard tests have optional settings to include multiple attempts. There may also be times when you might need to reset a student attempt or exclude an attempt for a test.

Posting scores and automated feedback
Marking and submissions -
Post assessment marks automatically is selected by default. This means that your students grade will be posted automatically as soon as the test is graded. If you do not wish students to see their grade immediately, untick this box.
Resetting test attempts
It is critical to check the student’s attempt before resetting as they may have answered all questions before encountering problems.
If necessary, you can delete or exclude a student's test attempt. If you delete the submission, it will be cleared from the Gradebook and the student can retake the test and be awarded a new grade.
If you exclude the submission, the student can retake the test but the new grade is not posted to the Gradebook CONFIRM WITH CDLE
In the Gradebook, select the Students tab.
Click the title of the test that you wish to delete or exclude.
