After students have completed their test, they must submit their test.

How to Complete a Test Segment

In segmented tests, the End Segment page appears after students finish the last question in a segment. Students can then either review questions from the current segment (and earlier segments, if allowed) or proceed to the next segment:

  • To review questions, students select a question number:

    • A Marked For Review icon appears for any questions marked for review (refer to Icons). A Unanswered icon appears for any unanswered questions (refer to Icons).

  • To move to the next segment, students select Next in the global menu.

Please note that if the test blocks access to completed segments, students cannot return to the segment after selecting Next. Furthermore, some tests force students to log out before proceeding to the next segment. In order to access the next segment, students must sign in again, and request approval from the test administrator again in proctored sessions.

How to Submit a Test

To complete the testing process, students must submit their tests when they have finished answering questions. Please note that once students submit their tests, they cannot return to the test or modify their responses:

  1. When a student reaches the last question on an assessment and selects Next, a window will appear indicating completion of the test (refer to Figure 56).

  • This page allows students to review answers and submit their test for scoring.

    • A Marked For Review icon identifies any questions marked for review (refer to Icons). An Unanswered icon identifies any unanswered questions (refer to Icons).

    • If a test contains cover pages, then Cover Page icons are displayed in the positions at which these pages occur in the test (refer to Icons).

  • Optional: To review previous answers, students select a question number. Students can also select a cover-page icon to navigate to a specific cover page. When finished with their review, they can return to the End Test page by selecting End Test again.

  • To submit the tests, students select Submit Test and then select Yes in the confirmation message that appears.

  • The Test Summary page appears, displaying the student’s name, the test name, and the completion date. The Test Summary page (refer to Figure 58) will confirm that the test has been submitted, and will show the Student Name, Test Name, and the date the test was completed, but will not show a student’s score for summative assessments.

  • To exit the Student Interface, students select Log Out and then close the secure browser application.
