Taking a test
What a candidate sees, so you know what you are building.
A test is delivered on its own page, reached from Available Tests on the home page or Launch on the test’s page.
Starting
The start screen gives the test’s title, how many questions there are (or “up to” when the route depends on answers), whether candidates may revisit questions, and any time limits. Begin Test starts it, in fullscreen.
Answering
One question is shown at a time, with Back and Next. Answers are saved as the candidate moves. Leaving the page and coming back resumes where they were, with their answers.
- In a linear part, questions come one at a time in order, and there is no going back.
- When a question shows feedback, it has Submit answer; after that the answer cannot be changed.
- Timers show the time left for the test and for any timed part, section or question. When one runs out, the candidate is moved on, or the test is submitted.
Security
The page records leaving fullscreen, switching away and similar events. After a number of them the candidate is warned, and then the test is submitted. Copy, paste and right-click are disabled.
Submitting
Submit Test asks for confirmation, then scores the attempt. The result screen shows the score for each question and the total, and the test’s own outcomes and feedback where the test defines them. It says Incomplete when the candidate stopped before the end.
