What if, during a quiz, the computer locks up and has to be powered off? Will they pick up where they left off and how does this affect their time (if timed test)? Thank you!
Solved! Go to Solution.

If this scenario happens, the quiz timer does not stop. It will continue to count down until it reaches the set time limit. If the student logs back in before the time limit is up, they can pick up where they left off minus the amount of time it took them to log back in. If the time has expired, the quiz will auto-submit once they log back in and click on the Resume Quiz button.
