Identifying Ungraded Tests and Questions

Ungraded Tests

When you view the results of an assessment, the tests that require grading will be marked as ungraded. Once you finish grading the test for a particular candidate, the ungraded label will disappear for the given test. However, the overall score for a candidate will still be marked as ungraded if at least one test is ungraded for the candidate. Once all ungraded tests are graded for a candidate, only then the ungraded label will be removed from the overall score.



You can use the Show Ungraded filter on the Recruiter Dashboard to view all ungraded candidates submissions for an assessment.

Ungraded Questions

Within a test, if a question is ungraded, you will see the label and also a pencil icon. You can use the pencil icon to assign points, based on the candidate's response. Once you change the points for the question, the score for the test and the overall score for the assessment will automatically change.

Even if a question has already been graded, if you see the pencil icon, you can edit the question's points.
