 After the exam is held, you will find the results in the ASSESSMENT -tab. Choose the exam and determine unique wrong answers. The rest will be assessed automatically by Reactored.

Note! The system only shows the unique mistakes. The same mistake will get the same points, in other words, Reactored remembers how you scored the mistake. This will save a lot of time!

If you share the same exam to another group, the system remembers your scoring, and all you need to do is to correct the new unique mistakes.
