The proficiency calcuation is set by the district, which is by default "Most Recent;" However, you can use the Individual Student Mastery Report to see the "overall course mastery" for a student.

Hello @LaurieBoyer-Sen ,   You can certainly reopen a submitted formative assessment.    How do I reopen a submitted formative assessment? If it is a district benchmark, then that is something you will have to ask an admin for assistance on.

Try downloading the item analysis page. It should give you an excel document with the students answers to each of the questions.

Yes. You should be able to see it when you click on Launch Performance Grader. Also, if you download the Item Analysis page, you can see the student responses that way.
