# Review questions and answer keys

> Check what the AI pulled out of your handout, fix what it got wrong, and approve the answer key for every question.

### Limits and notes

* Everything the grading screen does later rests on this step. Ten minutes here saves an hour of fixing scores.
* Objective questions, such as multiple choice, true or false and matching, are scored from the recorded answer against your key. Rubric-graded questions are judged against wording you write.
* Changes are kept in a floating **Unsaved changes** pill until you **Save changes**.

## Review the questions

<Steps>
  <Step title="Read the list against the handout">
    The handout sits on the left and the questions on the right; **Hide handout** widens the editor. The header counts the questions and total points.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fix what's wrong">
    Edit the prompt and the question number as printed. Set the **Points** \[1]. Use **Move up** and **Move down** to reorder, **Delete question** to drop one, and **Add question** or **Add section** to add. **Add a sub-part under this question** breaks one into A, B, C.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save and continue">
    Select **Save changes**. If you edited a question that already had an answer key, the dialog says the key and rubric will be redrafted when you continue. Select **Continue**. If a question is missing points, the note beside the button says how many.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Review the answer keys

<Steps>
  <Step title="Wait for the draft">
    Answer keys are drafted for every question as you arrive; **Continue** reads **Generating rubrics…** until they're done.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Mark the correct answers">
    On an objective question, tap the correct option. With partial credit on, a question with more than one right answer shows a **Partial credit preview** of how points split.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the rubric on open-ended questions">
    Each open-ended question has its own short rubric. Edit the levels and points, or select **Generate with AI** to redraft one. **Point ranges on/off** applies to all of them.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save and continue">
    Select **Save changes**, then **Continue**. This finalises the answer keys; grading uses this version.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Editing later

After setup, the same editors live on the assignment's **Assignment** tab. Questions and answer keys stay editable until grades are shared. If work has already been graded, saving offers **Save & re-grade** so the grades match the new key. [Edit an assignment after setup](/teachers/create/edit-an-assignment) covers the locks.

## How to tell it worked

The header count matches the paper, every question has points, and **Continue** moves on without a note.

## If something goes wrong

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Continue says a question needs points or a correct answer">
    The editor highlights the question. Fill in the missing piece and try again.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Continue says to review GradingPal's proposed changes">
    You asked the assistant for changes and haven't accepted or rejected them. Do that first.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I want the original back">
    **Discard changes** returns everything to how it was when the step loaded.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
