Test notification
When students log on, the first thing they will see is their Dashboard. If they have any tests, a badge will appear on their Tests icon showing the number of tests to be completed. Students will also see a pop-up box notifying them of the new tasks.
The test
Students take a test by clicking on the Start test link. If the test has been set as an Assessment-style test, students will be advised that they only have one attempt to answer all questions. The test will appear after the student confirms they wish to begin.
- The test is displayed in a series of pages, with 5 questions per page.
- A progress bar at the top shows questions answered.
- Students can move between pages by clicking on the page tabs at the top or with the Previous/Next buttons at the bottom of the page.
- The Highlight button highlights any unanswered questions in bright yellow. Students can choose to turn the highlighting off, or it switches off automatically as each question is answered.
- The Preview button opens a single page version of the test that students can scroll through quickly.
- The Submit button submits the test for marking. Students who have not answered all questions will be asked to confirm that they wish to submit the test with unanswered questions.
Test results
- Students receive their results immediately after submitting the test for Revision-style tests, or when the test has expired for Assessment-style tests. (Teachers choose Revision or Assessment when assigning the test.)
- Students access the full results using the Previous results button in the View my tests screen.
