Release test results to students

A student sees a result only after it is released. This page explains the two release modes, what a student sees, and how to release results.

Two release modes

Manual (default)

A finished result waits for you. The student sees nothing and gets no email until you release it.

Automatic

A result is released as soon as it is complete. The student sees the score and gets an email at once.

What counts as complete

A result is complete when every question has a final score. A result that is still being graded cannot be released.

Written answers must have a final grade. A student never sees a partial or provisional score, in either mode.

Release one result

  1. Open the test and go to the attempts list.
  2. Find the attempts marked Ready to release.
  3. Open the attempt and select Release.
  4. Confirm in the dialog Release result to candidate?.

Release all ready results

  1. Open the test page.
  2. Select Release all ready.
  3. Confirm in the dialog Release all ready results?.

Change the release mode

  1. Open the tenant settings and find Result release.
  2. Choose Manual or Automatic.
  3. Save. You may need a fresh authenticator code. Each change is recorded in the audit log.

Switching to automatic does not release results that are already waiting. Release those yourself.
