How a student takes an online exam
What students see when taking an online exam: the start screen, the countdown timer, pages of questions and automatic submission.
An exam is available to students only between its start and end dates. Before starting, the student sees a screen showing the exam name, the time allowed and the minimum percentage required to pass.
When the student clicks Start Exam, the exam opens in a separate window.

For exams with many questions, each page shows five questions. Students can move to any page using the page links at the bottom.
