Taking an online test or quiz in Sakai

Tips for avoiding problems on online tests

• Back button: Never click your browser's Back button while taking an assessment. Doing so may throw you out of the assessment and/or generate an error message. Use the navigational buttons within Sakai instead (Next, Previous, etc).
• Backspace key: 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 (like the browser Back button).
• If you lose access: If you lose access to a test (or quiz) for any reason, and there is still time left to complete it, return to the course site and re-enter the test or quiz. You should be able to pick up where you left off.
• Saving your answers: If a page contains multiple questions or an essay question that takes time to answer, click Save periodically to protect yourself from losing data if you lose access to the assessment. Some people prefer to draft answers to essay questions in a word processor and then paste them into the answer field. If you do so, be sure to click Save immediately after pasting your response.
• Reviewing your work: If your instructor has enabled the Mark for Review feature, you can check a box under each question that you would like to review later. To go back to questions you marked, before submitting the test, click Table of Contents. Questions you have marked for review will appear with a question mark. Note: You must select an answer before checking the Mark for Review box.
