Marks

If shown, marks indicate whether the most recent answer you submitted was correct or incorrect.

Note Marks are never shown for short answer, essay, file-upload, and Show My Work questions, since these are graded by your instructor. However, you can see any comments that your instructor made about your answers. See View Assignment Scoring Details.

Mark	Meaning
	Correct
	Not correct
	Extra credit
	Partially correct. Often, this means one of two things: The answer is numerically correct, but is specified with an incorrect number of significant digits or decimal places. The answer uses valid units, but is numerically incorrect.
	The answer is incorrect because it is based on incorrect values, but the calculation is valid.
	The answer is not correct, but credit was awarded for a previous submission.
	The answer might be correct or incorrect; more feedback is available when you click the mark.
	The last submitted answer was correct, but the answer has been changed and has not been resubmitted.
	The last submitted answer was not correct, but the answer has been changed and has not been resubmitted.

Note Some icons have different meanings when they are shown below a question or question part score.

When you change your answer for a question part, its mark changes to gray until you submit a new answer. This indicates that the mark relates only to your last submitted answer and not to your changed answer.
