If you end up with a bad question on an exam and find that students marks need to be modified after a quiz has been attempted, it can be adjusted.

Instead give students who answered the question incorrectly according to the system a point, here’s how:

In the example below, A is the correct answer that has been set up for the question.  You now want to give students who selected B and C a point too.  Students who selected D do not get any points.
