About assessment scores in Schoolwork

When you review an assessment using the Point System review type, you evaluate and score student work by adding marks to indicate correct and incorrect answers. As you add marks, Schoolwork automatically calculates the total possible points for the assessment and displays the student’s score and percentage in the review card. To award additional points without changing the total points, you can add bonus marks.

The table below shows how Schoolwork automatically calculates student’s scores and total possible points when you add marks to an assessment.
