How do I submit an assessment (i.e., test or quiz)?
Test-Taking Tips - In order to avoid potential problems during an assessment, it is recommended that you do the following:
- Use a supported web browser, such as the most recent version of Firefox, Google Chrome, or Internet Explorer.
- Make sure that you DO NOT have multiple windows or tabs open while testing.
- Make sure that you have a dependable internet connection--wired rather than wireless if possible.
- DO NOT use your browser back and forward buttons. Always navigate within Sakai.
- For timed tests, remember that once you begin the test, the timer will continue to count down. This is true if you lose internet connection, your browser crashes, or you simply exit and close your browser window.
- Make sure that you only click on the Begin Assessment button ONCE when starting a test.
- Make sure that you only click on the Submit for Grading button ONCE when submitting a test.
