# Managing Exam Results
> How teachers can monitor CBT exam submissions, view individual results, and publish scores to students on Lena.
Once your CBT exam is live, this guide shows you how to track which students
have submitted, drill into individual answer breakdowns, spot patterns that may
indicate unclear questions, and decide when to release scores.
**Before you begin:** You need a published CBT exam that students have
started taking.
***
## Monitoring submissions
While the exam is active, you can track submissions:
1. Open your exam from the **CBT** section in your course
2. Go to the **Submissions** tab
3. You'll see a real-time list of all attempts
Each submission shows:
| Field | Description |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Student** | Name of the student |
| **Score** | Their score (e.g., 35/50) |
| **Percentage** | Score as a percentage |
| **Time taken** | How long they spent on the exam |
| **Tab switches** | How many times they switched tabs |
| **Submission type** | Manual (student submitted) or Auto (time expired / tab-switch limit exceeded) |
| **Submitted at** | Date and time of submission |
***
## Viewing individual results
To see a detailed breakdown of a student's performance:
1. Click on a student's submission
2. You'll see:
* Their answer for each question
* Whether each answer was correct or incorrect
* The correct answer for each question
* Their total score and percentage
***
## Identifying issues
Watch for these patterns in your submissions:
| Pattern | What it might mean |
| ------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **High auto-submission rate** | Tab-switch limit may be too strict, or students are having technical issues |
| **Very short time taken** | Student may have submitted accidentally or given up early |
| **Many tab switches** | Student may be distracted or trying to look up answers |
| **Consistently low scores on one question** | The question may be unclear or the correct answer may be wrong |
***
## Publishing results to students
If you set the exam to show results manually, you control when students can see
their scores:
Navigate to your exam in the CBT section. The exam management page opens.
Tap the button to make all results visible to students.
Confirm that you want to publish. A confirmation message appears and students can now see their scores immediately.
Wait until all students have completed the exam before publishing results,
especially if you want to review the submissions first.
***
## Exam statistics
The results view also shows aggregate statistics:
* **Average score** across all students
* **Highest and lowest scores**
* **Number of students who submitted** vs total assigned
* **Completion rate** (percentage of assigned students who took the exam)
These statistics help you understand overall class performance and identify
areas that may need re-teaching.
