Timer and Navigation

If the test has a time limit, a countdown timer appears in the header. The timer changes color as time runs low:

  • Normal -- more than 5 minutes remaining
  • Warning (yellow) -- 5 minutes or less remaining
  • Critical (red, pulsing) -- 1 minute or less remaining

Navigate between questions using:

Previous / Next Buttons

Move sequentially through questions. "Previous" is disabled on the first question.

Dot Navigation

Numbered dots below the question let you jump to any question. Purple = current, Green = answered, Gray = unanswered.

Progress Bar

A thin progress bar in the header shows which question you are on relative to the total count.

Auto-Submit on Timeout: If the timer reaches zero, the test is submitted automatically with whatever answers you have entered. Make sure to answer all questions before time expires.

Submitting and Viewing Results

When you reach the last question, a green "Submit Test" button appears. Here is the submission flow:

  1. Open Confirmation

    Click Submit Test to open the confirmation dialog.

  2. Review Summary

  4. Review Answers

Multiple Attempts: Most tests allow up to 3 attempts (configurable). If you do not pass, you can try again. Once you reach the maximum attempts, the test will reject further submissions.
