As soon as the internet is back up, the answers will be immediatly uploaded to Remindo. Please note! The student should never close the exam or close the Chromebook if the internet is not back up again. Not even when the exam time is over.

    Question: Is it possible to edit the answer key after exam performance?

    Answer: This is possible, but any changes made only affect the results of the performed exam. Changing the answer key is thus far only possible when using closed questions. Click here for more information on this subject.

    Question: Is it possible – as a teacher – to correct an exam horizontally (per question instead of per student)?

    Answer: Yes, this is possible. Open questions are assigned to assessors per rule within the blueprint. You can determine this distribution system yourself. Please note! If each assessor only corrects one question, please seperate the questions by adding them to different rules in the blueprint.
