Taking a test online has advantages and disadvantages. The most common problem is getting disconnected from the quiz and not being able to log back in.
To take a test in Blackboard:
- Find the folder in which the quiz is located. Sometimes this is labeled “Quizzes” or another such area specified by your Instructor.
- Click on the Assessment link to the quiz or test you are going to take.
- Before taking the quiz, read the instructions. Your quiz might have a time limit and/or might only be available during certain dates. Unless you are informed differently, your quiz will only be able to be taken once.
- Questions can be in multiple choices, multiple answer, true-false, matching, ordering, fill-in-the-blank, short answer, or essay format.
- When you have finished answering the questions on the quiz, click on the “Submit” button. “Save” button can be clicked only when multiple attempts are allowed for that particular test.
- Your responses may be graded automatically and displayed or sent to your Instructor for grading (In case of essay answers).
- If you lose your Internet connection while taking a quiz or your quiz is locked, contact your professor immediately to report the problem.
