This will limit assessments from appearing for students outside the hours specified. Ex. If it is set from 7am-3pm and a student decides to try to take a test at 3:01pm, they will not be permitted. The time stamp will only allow the test to be started during that window. It will NOT log out the child if they are taking the test and the window closes. Once Save has been selected you will be redirected to the information screen that shows all of the details of the test.

PROCTORING Assessments

1. Look over your roster, for each student you will see that you can view Start/Finish times, Time Elapsed, What question they are viewing, and any pauses. 2. Enable Student Help- This allows students to click a button to alert you that they need help. 3. Pause Assessment- This pauses the assessment for ALL students. The Pause under the 'Actions' menu pauses it for an individual student. If the test is timed, Pause will not negatively impact the student's allotted time, it will merely continue when un-paused.
