What if I update any subjective questions, will the changes automatically reflect in assessment?

Managing subjective questions and assessment updates requires careful planning to ensure a smooth and error-free experience for all participants. This article explains how changes to subjective questions impact your assessments and outlines best practices to follow.

Updating Subjective Questions

Subjective questions require open-ended responses from candidates, which can be in the form of text, audio, video, or code. If you wish to modify these questions, please note that any changes will not automatically reflect in ongoing assessments. To apply updates, you will need to re-add or manually update the question in the assessment settings.

During Ongoing Assessments:

Once invitations have been sent to participants, it is strongly advised to avoid making significant changes to the assessment while it is in progress.

Modifying an assessment while participants are actively taking it may cause errors or confusion in the assessment process.

Best Practices:Pre-Assessment Review: Review and finalize all assessment questions before sending out invitations. Ensure that questions are clear, accurate, and error-free.Version Control: If you anticipate needing to make updates, consider creating separate versions of the assessment and assigning them accordingly. This allows you to manage changes without disrupting ongoing assessments.Participant Communication: If changes are unavoidable during an ongoing assessment, communicate them clearly to participants to minimize confusion.Post-Assessment Review: Once the assessment is complete, review the results and questions to identify areas for improvement in future assessments.
