5
Start the exam
Click Start Exam on the exam you want to take. You’ll see:
Exam title and instructions
Duration (time limit)
Number of questions
Tab-switch limit
Number of allowed attempts
Review the information, then click Begin. The exam enters fullscreen mode and the timer starts.
Once you start, the timer runs continuously. It does not pause if you leave the page or lose internet connection.
6
Answer questions
You’ll see one question at a time with multiple-choice options.
Question navigator — Jump to any question directly (usually shown as numbered circles)
Your answers are auto-saved as you select them. You don’t need to manually save.
Don’t spend too long on one question. If you’re unsure, select your best guess and move on. You can always come back to it before submitting.
7
Submit the exam
When you’ve answered all questions (or when you’re ready), click Submit Exam.You’ll be asked to confirm. Once confirmed, the exam is submitted and your score is calculated. You are taken to the results screen (if results are available immediately) or back to your dashboard.
If the timer reaches zero before you submit, the exam is automatically submitted with whatever answers you’ve selected.
Opening your browser’s developer tools (F12, Ctrl+Shift+I, right-click →
Inspect) triggers a countdown. If you don’t close them in time, your exam is
automatically submitted.
Make sure you’re logged in with the correct account - Check that you’ve
selected the correct school profile - The exam may not have started yet —
check the start time - You may not be assigned to this exam — contact your
teacher
The exam page is blank or not loading
Try refreshing the page - Use a supported browser (Chrome, Firefox, or
Edge) - Disable ad blockers and browser extensions - Check your internet
connection
My exam was auto-submitted
This can happen if:
The time limit expired
You exceeded the tab-switch limit
You exited fullscreen mode
You opened browser developer tools
A technical issue caused auto-submission
Contact your teacher if you believe the auto-submission was unfair.
