To resume, follow the instructions below.

	Students can only access an exam if the exam is set as OPEN. In this article (link) you can find more information about access

There are three different ways for a student to resume an exam:  

1. Resume with individual exam key (standard)

You, the teacher, retrieve the Individual Exam Key in the exam's monitoring view.

From there, you can click on each student's name to retrieve the key or click the Individual Exam Keys button in the Monitoring overview, to see all keys at once.

The individual exam keys are only valid once and are replaced once used. This prevents the students from memorizing the key and resuming the exam on their own.

	Tips for Resuming Students can enter their email addresses in connection with connecting to the exam. You can then send them the individual exam keys via email instead. Enable this under "Student Information" in step 3 when creating/editing an exam. Read more about the function here

2. Student Self resume

You, the teacher, can give students access to resume an exam whenever they'd like, as long as the exam access is set as OPEN 

This feature makes it possible for students to resume where they left off without you having to send the students their individual exam keys.

	Unlimited access to an OPEN exam Please note that the students will get unlimited access to the exam. As long as the exam access is set as OPEN students can... ... enter the exam as many times as they'd like. ... submit the exam as many times as they'd like.  The individual resume key will not be changed after use.

How does self-resume work? 

Step by step: 

1. Activate the function: The teacher enables Student Self-Resume for an exam under the exam configurations found in step 3 when creating/editing an exam.
   
   Please note - this has to be done before students enter the exam.
   
   
   
   
2. Open for access: The teacher opens the exam (or schedules an automatic opening of the exam) via the access function in the exam list
3. Students enter the exam: The students initiate the exam by entering it with an exam key. They will be required to enter their email address. 
4. Students receive an email: After they enter the exam, all students will automatically receive an email containing a unique resume key for their work.
   
   
5. To resume the exam: Students click the link (Continue Exam) in the email, or use their unique resume key, also provided in the email, to re-enter the exam. This action will automatically bring them back into their exam. 
6. Close access to resume: When you no longer wish the students to be able to resume the exam, you turn the access to Closed. You can change access as many times as you'd like.

3. Resume an exam connected to LMS (Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams for Education) 

If the exam is connected to Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams, the students resume their exams either by clicking the link to the exam or entering the exam key. Then, they enter the exam with the Google account/Microsoft account connected to the chosen class/team in the LMS of your choice. 

Only students connected to the chosen class can access an LMS-connected exam.

Resume an exam due to a device-related problem

If a student's device stops working during an exam - for example, due to a lack of battery power or if it just breaks down, this can be solved by resuming the exam. The student resumes the exam as explained above.
