  6. Once the teacher or exam supervisor "Accepts" the student into the assessment, the student will see a new browser page with the name of the assessment.
  7. Once the teacher or exam supervisor "Unlocks" the assessment (starts the exam) for all students, they will see a prompt to begin.

NAVIGATING THE EXAM:

  1. Students have four (4) ways to navigate through the exam:
    1. Top-Left: drop-down menu with section headings.
    2. Top-Left: section links (just below drop-down menu).
    3. Bottom-Right: Back and Next buttons.
    4. Once questions have started, the Topic Question and Prompt Texts display as links at the top-right of the window.
  2. Once students are on a question, there are three (3) options to change the page view:
    1. Left: Displays the Question in Full Page view.
    2. Split: Displays the Question on the left and the Response area on the right.
    3. Right: Displays the Response area in Full Page view.

  3. Word processing tools are listed along the right side of the window.
  4. Spelling and Grammar checker should be automatically enabled in the Response area (words underlined in red for spelling and blue for grammar). However, if it is disabled for a student, it can be re-enabled at the bottom-right of the Response area. Hover over the little grey dot and click the power icon.
