How do I edit the number of points per question on a quiz?

I had imported 30 questions into a test bank from Exam view and wanted each one to be one point for a total of 30 points. Somehow when I imported the test bank as a WebCT 4-6/Vista file in QTI format, I got a total of 3000 points which pretty much freaks out my high school students! I can't seem to edit it. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to confirm that there is a bug in ExamView 6.2.1 for Windows that disregards the point values you have set for questions in ExamView and exports them as 100 points.  The easiest workaround seems is to use the Blackboard export & import method as  @john_williamson ​ described. However you can also edit the export file questionsDB by doing a find and replace all.

Because this is a popular item, I made an updated version of my Examview to Canvas video and it will walk you through the step by step along with the workaround to edit the question values with find and replace. Please share with your colleagues and fellow Canvas users.
