• Once you have completed your responses, click “Review and Submit” to review your answers. Any blank responses will be highlighted. If you are satisfied with your responses, click “Submit my Test.” You will receive an email receipt of your answers.
  • Once you click “Submit,”the test is complete and you cannot go back and change your answers.
  • Your total time is computed and reported to your instructor, starting from the first time you select the test through the time you submit it.
  • When you are done, quit the program so others cannot view your test results or take your tests (on a PC, select “File”and “Exit”or close the browser; on a Mac, select “Quit” under the browser menu or press ⌘+Q).

General  Information

• We recommend that you do NOT use a wireless connection to take an eTest. A connection to the Internet might be dropped during your wireless session and you will lose your answers.
• Confirm that pop-up blockers are turned off for eTest before taking your test; images on your test are viewed in a pop-up window
• Do not open other windows or tabs while you are taking the test (except from within the test). Especially, do not open other browsers, as you may lose your logon (i.e., the computer won’t record your answers).
• If the images do not look correct, make sure your monitor is set for “millions of color” or “true color.” If the images still do not look correct, try moving to a different computer or contact the instructor.
• WARNING: Pressing the refresh, back, or forward buttons on your browser will cause you to lose your responses.
• During the exam, all right-click menu options such as copy, back, print, and reload are turned off.

By default, students may not print the exam. Please note that there are ways around this safeguard; any exam that is not proctored should be considered a take-home test.
