Want a true "can exceed" grade posted

Kevin.K.545

While it seems like the "can exceed" function should work for exactly this situation, I can't get it to function properly.

I have a quiz that has questions totaling 120 points. I want the maximum score to actually be 120 out of 100…grade inflation in action.

If I set the maximum points to be 100 and check "can exceed," students are seeing their raw score converted to be out of 100 points. If I unpublish and change it to be out of 120, then they see their correct score, but out of 120:

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help!

@Kevin.K.545 You should be able to just change the 120 max points to 100 on the grade item (with Can Exceed checked) and the students' scores won't be affected. The issue is when you sync from the quiz; it will only send percentages. So if you want to change the maximum points, you'll need to make changes in the grade book only after all the scores have been sent over.
