Opportunities refer to the number of times a student can take a test within a range of dates. Tests may have one opportunity or multiple opportunities. A student’s test opportunity remains active until the student submits the test or until the opportunity expires. Once a test opportunity expires, the student cannot complete or review the test.

Students can pause a test at any time in order to temporarily log out of the test session. If a student pauses their test, they can resume their test using the same session ID:

• If the test is paused for less than 8 hours, the student can return to questions that were already answered and modify answers.

• If the test is paused for more than 8 hours, the student can return to questions that were already answered but cannot change the answers. The only exception is if the session

...

• was paused on a page that has at least one unanswered question.

• All answers are saved immediately. They are not lost if the test is paused.

If the test session has ended, the test administrator will need to set up a new session, and the student must sign in to their test using a new session ID.

For text-response question types in the Student Interface, students can use a formatting toolbar. This toolbar is available above the response field for text response questions and appears whenever students right-click anywhere in the text area. The formatting toolbar allows students to apply styling to text and use standard word-processing features. The lower-right corner of the response field displays the word count and character count for the student's response. Table 10 provides an overview of the formatting tools available.
