     You can increase scores above 100%, but you cannot change a score of zero by a percentage. (Submit scores from a student's Results page to change a zero score.)

   • Select Change correct points to to set an absolute number of points to apply.

     You can add points to a zero score.

   Students' names are listed when they have incomplete tests or tests that need manual grading. Students who submitted the test late are shown in red type. Inactive students and section instructors are not shown.

5. Optionally open the question in the player and select Ask the Publisher to report the question to Pearson.

When you score a question as correct:

• Students cannot work on the question or review it.
• When the question is included in a question pool, students get full credit for the pooled question.

You also can remove or replace questions on a test after students have worked on it.
