Set a time limit

  • In this guide, we will walk you through how to set a time limit on your exams, which means that access to the exam for students will automatically be disabled after a certain period.

    Steps to Set a Time Limit on Exams:

    1. Open the Exam Settings
      Go to the settings for the specific exam you wish to limit.

    2. Navigate to the Time Limit Settings
      In step 3 of the exam settings, you will find the option to enable the time limit.

    3. Enable and Set the Time Limit
      Activate the time limit and specify how much time the students will have to complete the exam. This time limit will take effect as soon as the student starts the exam.

      Once a student begins the exam, the countdown starts automatically and is displayed in the bottom left corner.

      Students can see how much time they have left, and when there are 2 minutes remaining, they will receive a warning. The exam will automatically end when time runs out.

    Important Points to Consider:

    • Resuming the Exam Resets the Timer: If a student needs to resume the exam for any reason, the timer will reset and start over from the beginning.

    • The Time Cannot Be Changed for Ongoing Exams: Once students have started their exams, the time limit is loaded. This means you cannot change the time settings for students taking the exam.
      However, if you CLOSE the exam access, you can adjust the time.

    • Recommended security mode: This function works best in the high-security mode. Read more about security settings in this article: Security settings

    By using this feature, you can ensure that all students have the same time-limit to complete their exams, contributing to a fair and structured exam environment.

    ------------------------------

    Can individual students be given more time?
    You can't add time for individual students in the same exam. All students get the same amount of time.

    If you want some students to have more time than others, our best tip is to create a separate exam for those students.

    Also, If you want students to continue their work after the timer runs out, they can resume the exam.
