Practise under pressure with exam mode

Knowing the work is one thing — answering under time pressure is another. Timed exam mode lets you practise both, so the real test feels familiar.

Start a timed exam

1. Open a quiz.

   Go to My Quizzes in the sidebar and open the quiz you want to practise.

2. Press Start timed exam.

   Choose how much time you want. A good rule of thumb is about one minute per question, or match the time you'll get in your real exam.

3. Answer the questions.

   A countdown timer stays on screen while you work. Answers and explanations are hidden until you hand in, just like a real exam.

4. Submit, or let the timer run out.

   Submit when you're done. If the timer reaches zero, your answers are handed in automatically — anything you didn't answer is marked wrong.

5. Check your results.

   See your score, how long you took, and an explanation for every question.
