• Multiple Attempts
  • If enabled, choose whether to give students an unlimited number or a specific number of attempts.
  • Use the drop-down menu to specify what you attempt you would like to be scored.
• Force Completion
  • If selected, students must complete the test in one sitting. Using the "Force Completion" option on Blackboard tests is not recommended.  With this setting, students that accidentally close their browsers, leave the test page, or lose power or their internet connections won't be able to continue and must contact the instructor to ask for a new attempt. Momentary internet interruptions are especially common over Wi-Fi and home internet connections; a student that experiences any internet connectivity interruption during the test will have trouble with this setting. 
• Set Timer
  • If selected, choose the amount of time you would like to give students to complete the test.

• Auto-Submit

  • If you set the timer, you can turn on Auto-Submit. Tests are automatically saved and submitted when the time expires.
  • If you don't turn on Auto-Submit, students have the option to continue when the time expires even beyond the 1440-minute maximum timer length. Those tests appear with the Needs Grading icon in the Grade Center to alert you students used more time. The tests also appear with an OVER TIME label in the Test Information area. The system doesn't apply an automatic penalty for completion times that are over the limit. On a student's submission page, you can adjust the grade based on the completion time.
