To review a specific student’s attempt, select the Graded tab. You’ll find a list of students who have taken the exam along with details such as:

- View as Student: See the exam from the student’s perspective.
Note: Be cautious when reopening or deleting attempts, as deleted attempts cannot be retrieved.
