Pausing a Test• If the test is paused for more than 20 minutes, students can review or change
answers to any question in the current section, including previous pages. Students cannot go back to previous sections.
Test Timeout Due to Inactivity• As a security measure, after 20 minutes of test inactivity, students are logged out
and their tests are paused automatically.• Inactivity is determined by whether the student is interacting with the test by
selecting answers or using navigation tools.• Students will receive a warning message prior to being logged out and must click
[OK] on the pop-up within 30 seconds in order to avoid automatic logout and pausing of their test.
