How do I view the answer key for an assessment?

You can view, download, and print an in-depth answer key for any assessment to which you have access in Mastery Connect. In addition to question answers, the answer key contains assessment data such as depth of knowledge (DOK), associated standards, question point values, and more.

You can view the answer key in the Assessment Manager page. You can also view it in the Assessment Editor if you are an assessment author or editor.

Note: The answer key is not visible to school admins while in secure benchmark mode.
