Navigate to the exam scorecard settings page and click the "Settings" button in the Feedback Settings section. This will open the comment configuration dialog where you can add, edit, or delete comments.
Q3: What is the correct format for score ranges?
Score ranges use the format [a, b) which means the range includes the starting value (a) but excludes the ending value (b). For example, [80, 90) includes scores from 80 to 89. The highest score range should use [a, b] format to include both endpoints.
