The Blackboard integration allows you to create LTI links that students can use to to access a course or specific Ans assignment through your Moodle environment. This link sets up the coupling between the students account in Ans  without having to add them to the course first. For this LMS integration between Moodle and Ans s can be generated  Once the assignment has finished, the LTI coupling also allows you to automatically synchronise marks from within Ans back to Blackboard. . 

error_outline You cannot set up an LTI coupling after taking the exam. The participants need to log in through the LMS to finalise the coupling. That way, Ans knows which result in Ans belongs to which student in the LMS.
