How to add feedback to the online test sheet or selected answers?

Adding feedback to the test results provides respondents with an excellent opportunity to grow. This way, test owners can pinpoint strong and weak spots in skills and knowledge and advise on increasing performance. Giving respondents more than just their score or grade is beneficial and in line with the principles of formative assessments.

Testportal allows test owners to:

• Add a general comment on the respondent's test sheet,

• Provide feedback for each short answer and descriptive question,

• Show respondents their strengths and weaknesses,

• Leave guidelines for respondents to speed up further development,

• Show and explain correct answers.

To start an online test evaluation, go to the Test progress & results section and then select the Test sheet review tab.
