Step 4: Then we need to make adjustments for the exam duration, the number of exam questions and the number of exam repetitions. In the Exam duration section, enter the time you have determined appropriate for your exam. If the number of repetitions is in this section, it is the student's right to take the exam. It has been decided to grant at least 3 rights due to reasons arising from internet outage, system usage error or possible errors. In the number of questions section, you need to specify numerically how many questions you want to have in your exam. If you check the option "The student can use an unlimited number of repetitions", the number of repetitions section will be infinite.

Step 5: Select the dates and times specified in your own exam program in the "Date the exam will open" and "Date the exam will end" sections. If you select the "Can enter within the given time" option in the exam entry time section, your student can, for example, enter the exam between 13.00 and 15.00 at 14.59 and complete the exam during the exam period. If you select the "Exam will be completed when the given time expires" option, students will be expelled from the exam as of 15.00, even if they have not completed the 45-minute exam period and are still in the exam. It is evaluated based on the questions marked in the unfinished exam.
