Do not enter any test or exam until you are ready to take it! Once you click “Begin” to enter a test, Blackboard counts this as an attempt at the test, even if you only look at the test and do not answer any questions. (Your instructor is the only one who can clear an incomplete attempt from your record) Find out the dates that the test will be available in the course and take your test as soon as you are ready. DO NOT wait until the last day to take a test in Blackboard. (If you have technical difficulties or lose your connection, there may not be enough time for you to solve resolve the issue, and you may not be permitted to complete or re‐take your exam.)

• Some tests may be taken more than once, while others can only be taken once. Your instructor will inform you if the test can be taken more than once.
• Some of the tests are timed: This means that the instructor has set a time limit. The elapsed time appears at the top of the browser window, and you will receive a 1‐minute warning when your time is up. You must finish the test before the time elapses to prevent technical problems.
• Once you begin taking the test, you are required to work until you finish it. As soon as you leave the test, whether or not you have actually clicked the “Submit” button, your attempt is recorded in your Grade book (My Results) as completed.
• If you leave the quiz without completing it, you may not be able to come back and finish it. If this happens, contact your Instructor via email.
• All of the questions appear on one web page. Each question has a “Save Answer” button next to it so you can save each question as you go. Doing so should help protect you in case of technical difficulties.
