Once an exam is marked complete, instructors can update the correct answers for questions to ensure accuracy. After an adjustment, all learner attempts will be re-scored based on the revised correct answer, and scores will be automatically recalculated for the exam. This process helps maintain fairness and ensures that all learners are evaluated based on accurate information.
