6. When done, scroll down and click Submit.
7. Back to the Test Canvas, and find a question you want to make the extra points. Click the question‘s points value box.
8. A popup menu will appear.  Change the point value of the question. Add a check mark to the Extra Credit box and click Submit.
9. You will see a quick “Success” message. The points value box will display again with the words “Extra Credit.“
