Mercer Mettl app Examiner provides evaluators with a personalised dashboard for evaluations. This dashboard gives information about the test takers assigned to the evaluators. In addition to the default mode of evaluation, Report View, where the entire test taker report is assigned to an evaluator. we have now introduced a new mode of evaluation – Question View.
How evaluation journey will change?
Question View allows administrators to assign specific questions of a test to an evaluator, enabling them to grade all test takers who have attempted that question. This mode is crucial for university tests, where professors or their team members curate each question and can ensure fair evaluation for students on those questions.
In addition to evaluation, Question View also supports Question level Re-evaluation enabling the evaluator to track the Re-evaluation requests for such tests.
Administrators and Evaluators can also switch the test between Report View and Question View.
Let’s see how these views can be enabled for your team
In Examiner, each test can be tagged in the buckets of either Report or Question View. It allows evaluation flow to change accordingly. Lastly, this setting can be changed any time during the examination cycle before the evaluation starts.
How the dashboard will be updated
New metrics will be added to dashboard to monitor the number of attempted questions and the number of re-evaluation raised by test takers on such questions.
With these new features, we have increased transparency and collaboration among faculties and students. This will also help Institutes in streamlining their communication process during an examination cycle. Read more to understand the new mode of evaluation will be useful in imrpoving Student journey.

Students can now request for Re-evaluation from their Student Portal
In the world of examinations, it is essential to ensure fairness and accuracy in evaluating test takers’ performance. To enhance this process, we are introducing a new feature: Re-evaluation Flow in coordination with our Evaluation via Examiner.
Empower Students
After students attempt a test, an evaluator is assigned to evaluate their answers and give them scores based on the guideline. Till date, students have had limited flexibility over the evaluation and raising re-evaluation was a manual activity. With the Re-evaluation Flow, our objective is to provide students an opportunity to flag questions that they believe require further scrutiny.
Some of the common cases for requesting re-evaluation are:
- Human Error – Few questions are missed during evaluation,
- Conflict in Questions – Not scores but questions are contested by students after the test.
Now, students can easily request the re-evaluation from their student portal.
Sample Student Portal
Setting up Re-evaluation window
Administrators can now easily define a Re-evaluation window – Start Date time and End Date time. This will allow students to raise such request during that window. This setting enables a seamless experience to students where they can see the results after evaluation and updated results after re-evaluation.
- Administrators have to define a Re-evaluation window for a test when the students can raise such requests.
- Administrators have to allow sharing reports only after Evaluation window is closed.
Raise a Re-evaluation request
Now, the students can mark individual questions in their evaluated reports from the student portal. The marked questions will need to be then submitted for further consideration. This feature ensures that students can raise their concerns and fair evaluation is conducted.
- Students will get appropriate messaging about when they can raise such request from the portal.
- Once the window is open, students can navigate to the reports and raise a request. They would have to mark the question with appopriate reasoning on why they are raising the request.
- Multiple questions can be marked for re-evaluation. All those marked questions will have to be submitted at once.
- Once submitted, students will be notified in the portal about when the updated reports will be available to them post re-evaluation.
With these new features, we have increased transparency and collaboration among faculties and students. This will also help Institutes in streamlining their communication process during an examination cycle. Read more to understand the new mode of evaluation will be useful in imrpoving Student journey.
