What do you mean by "adjusting a student's score"?

You should be watching everyone during a test but basically you can't do a single thing for what happened, just what might possibly happen in the future.
As for adjusting a score say someone came to you and said "Hey Carnation, I really messed up on this final and don't think it's indicative of what I've learned in this course. Would you be willing to look more at my midterm and problem sets when determining my grade?" That is something that happens all the time. It is a deviation from a standard that gives an unfair advantage to some. Sometimes the student doesn't even have to say it. The prof rewards the kid for raising his hand and coming to office hours.
