You’ve given a test in Blackboard. The test is graded.  Now students want to see their results. But how do students see the results and what do they see?

Students view test and assessment results through the My Grades tool and they only see their own grades. Students will see class averages and other class statistics only if you select the show statistics option when setting the grade column properties (by default, it is set to not show the class statistics). By clicking on the grade for the test, students can view the test results and feedback you select.

When giving tests using Blackboard what students can see after completing the test is determined by the settings you choose when you set the test options to deploy it. You can choose different settings for what appears immediately upon submission and what appears later. So for example, you can provide a score once the students submit but withhold the ability to view submitted and correct answers until after a specific date passes – the due date or last date students with testing exceptions can access the test.

See how you can set test options to restrict when and what test results students can see. Scroll down to the feedback options section to see how you can control what your students see immediately after submitting and later.

Remember, students will always be able to see their overall score unless you hide the Grade Center column from them.
