Access to the test

Students can only see and start the test if there is an allocated timeslot. If a timeslot has not yet been allocated, the students won't be able to see the test in the assignments overview.

Time limit

A time limit can be set for your test. When the start and end time are set at 09:00 and 12:00 respectively and the time limit is set at 120 minutes, the students are able to start the test between 09:00 and 12:00, with a maximum time limit of 120 minutes. The student is not able to submit anymore answers after 12:00, even if the time limit isn't reached yet.

If the student exits the test without clicking submit, the time limit will continue to count down. If the time limit expires, the test will be submitted automatically.

Extra time

If students are entitled to extra time, it is recommended to create a group for students with the right to extra time. A specific time can be set for this group and a default time can be set for all other students.
