When a learner misses an exam, instructors can create a makeup version directly from the Exam Summary Report. This feature makes it easy to offer additional testing opportunities while keeping all results organized in one place. Makeup exams can be customized with their own availability, settings, and integrity options, and instructors can assign multiple makeup exam sessions if different sets of learners need different times. All makeup results are still rolled into the main exam report, giving you a complete and accurate view of class performance. You must be logged into EchoExam to assign a makeup exam.
