Post Scores in Microsoft Forms
Use the 'Post scores' feature in the Responses tab to release manually graded results to your students.
When automatic result display is disabled for a quiz, students will only see a completion message. To allow them to see their final grades and any feedback you have provided, you must manually post the scores from the form's response dashboard.
Open your specific quiz in Microsoft Forms and click on the 'Responses' tab located at the top of the page.
In the summary area of the Responses tab, locate and click the 'Post scores' button.
A list of respondents will appear. Check the boxes next to the names of the students whose scores you wish to release. You can select the top checkbox to select all students at once.
Click the 'Post scores' button again to confirm. Students can now use the original quiz link they were given to view their final scores and your feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do students see 'your response has already been submitted' instead of their score?
This happens when automatic result display is turned off in the form settings and the creator has not yet manually posted the scores. Once scores are posted via the Responses tab, visiting the same link will show their graded results.
Can I unpost scores in Microsoft Forms after releasing them?
No, Microsoft Forms does not currently have a built-in feature to retract or 'unpost' scores once they have been published. Ensure all grading is fully complete and accurate before clicking Post scores.
How do I add individual feedback to a student's answer before posting scores?
In the Responses tab, click 'Review answers'. Navigate to a specific student's response, and click the message icon next to an individual question to type specific feedback. This feedback will be visible to the student once the score is posted.
