Student’s Perspective
From a student’s perspective, having the ability to resume a test without needing admin approval in situations like a sudden internet disconnection or accidentally closing a browser tab is incredibly convenient. It reduces the stress and anxiety that can come with technical issues during a test. Students can focus on answering questions and performing to the best of their abilities, knowing that they have the flexibility to address unexpected interruptions without unnecessary obstacles. To resume the test, the candidate should:
- Navigate to the Assignments panel from the left-side menu, then select the My tests page.
- Use the search box to locate the specific test.
- Click the Continue button to proceed and resume the test.
Note: Candidates can continue the test from the exact question where the test was interrupted. During this process, all previously provided answers will be automatically saved.
