* Use a computer with the Firefox browser. Tests and quizzes work best on computers. Avoid using mobile devices. We strongly recommend using Firefox as problems have been reported with other browsers. |
* Be sure you understand how much time you have to submit the test. Information about the time limit is displayed when you click on a test link, just before you actually begin the test. If your instructor has set a time limit, the test will submit automatically when the time limit is reached. |
* Never click your browser's Back button while taking a test or quiz! Doing so may throw you out of the assessment and/or generate an error message. Instead, always use the navigation buttons within the test to move to the Next question, to go to a Previous question (if allowed), to Save and to Submit. |
* Save often!!
|
* Avoid opening new browser windows or tabs. While it’s common to open new windows or tabs when browsing the web, refrain from doing so when taking a test. New tabs or windows will cause serious problems when opened while taking a Sakai test. |
* Don't use the Backspace key unless your cursor is in a field where you can enter text. Pressing Backspace under other circumstances may throw you out of the assessment and/or generate an error message. \} If you lose access: If you lose access while taking a test for any reason, and there is still time left to complete it, return to the course site and go back into the test. You should be able to pick up where you left off (if you saved your answers, as recommended above). Be aware that the timer keeps running while you are out of the test, so return to the test as quickly as possible.
