Creating an online exam is a two-step process. In the first step you specify the exam settings. In the second step you add questions to the exam.

Step 1 – Specify the exam settings

  1. In the Name field, enter the name of the exam.
  2. In the Start date and End date fields, select the starting and ending date that the exam will be accessible to students. The exam will not be available to students before the starting date and after the ending date.
  3. In the Maximum Time (Minutes) field, enter the duration of the exam. A countdown timer is shown when a student attempts an exam. When the timer runs out, the exam is submitted automatically with whatever answers the student has filled in.
  4. In the Pass Percentage (%) field, enter the minimum percentage required to pass the exam.
  5. Select the exam type from the following options:

  1. In the Assign Evaluators field, search (use the employee’s first name or employee ID to search) and select the employee who will evaluate the exam. You can assign any number of evaluators as you like.

Note: The field is available only if the exam format is Hybrid.
