Instructors can edit individual questions in Blackboard Original tests, even though some or all students have submitted their answers.  Start with editing the invalid question directly and all necessary updates will flow automatically to the Grade Center. For any given question, Blackboard  Original allows instructors to drop, give full credit, change point value, or change the correct answer. After the question has been updated, Blackboard  Original recalculates the score of all submitted assessments that included the updated question, reflects the updates in the Grade Center, and provides notification to both the instructor and optionally to the students for all submissions that were adjusted due to the changes.
