Taking an Assessment/ Survey

When setting up tests there are options to allow learners:

• flexible navigation through a test;
• mandatory questions (that cannot be skipped);

• comprehensive feedback on answers;
• viewing of test history.

Tests can also be invigilated and/or delivered in a secure testing environment that limits printing, navigation and copy functionality.
