Custom or Pro Certification Exams
There are two other types of exams you could provide to students, custom exams and TestOut Pro Certification exams. Since these tests have time limits, you can setup a time extension as required for specific students.
- Click your class name
- Click the students name
- Select User Settings
- Click the box under Time Extension
- Drag the slider to select the receptive time required
- Click Save
The student will automatically have this additional time on these exams. Students with a time extension may also stop and save the test any time and then return to finish it later.
Screen reader Compatibility
LabSim 6 has not gone through Accessibility-focused Quality Assurance (QA) and Development. That being said, LabSim is running on more modern technology that will help with accessibility needs and ARIA-based screen readers.
