Mark online tests and see scores

After students hand in an online test, EduHost marks many answers for you. Use this page to see who sat the test, mark any answers the machine could not mark, and leave a note for the student.

How marking works

• Auto marking: EduHost checks answers against the Answer key you gave when you made the question. For short answers, it accepts any answer you listed. Case and spacing do not matter.
• Negative marks: if you set Negative marks on a question, a wrong answer can lose marks. Blank answers are never penalised.
• Manual marking: some answers need you to read them and give marks yourself.

Steps

1. In the sidebar, under Exams, open Online Tests.
2. Open the test you want to mark.
3. Go to Who sat it to see the list of students.
4. Open one student's paper.
5. If you see The machine settled all of this one., EduHost has marked every answer. You do not need to do anything more.
6. If an answer still needs marking, read it and type the marks in the Marks box.
7. If you want, write a short note in A word back.
8. Click Save the marks.
9. Do the same for the next student.
