Grading & Results
What Results Can Participants See?
Learn how result visibility works in ExamLive. Show nothing, the final score only, or a full question-by-question review.
Where to set it
In Settings › Experience, the What Students See selector offers three levels. It controls what people can see, not when they see it. Timing is a separate choice: tests can auto-release results as they end, or you can release them manually (Publish Results).
The three levels
- Don't show results: they never see their score or their answers.
- Score only: the final score without any question breakdown.
- Full review: the score plus every question with its correct answer and the feedback you wrote per question.
Choosing well
- Formal assessments where answer-sharing is a concern: Score only.
- Practice and learning-focused tests where understanding mistakes matters: Full review.
- Scores you don't plan to share at all: Don't show results.
Changing it later
This setting stays editable even after the test is published, so switching levels updates what already-released submissions show from then on.
