Test Procedure from the Participants' Point of View

The submission of your response is only necessary if you want to complete the attempt to solve the task, for example to be able to view feedback.

Submit answers
You can use the button to complete a task. If the task is still unprocessed or not completely answered, a corresponding warning message will appear.
Pressing the button will end the current attempt to solve the task and start the assessment. Depending on the settings, you will then be given feedback on your solution, information on the assessment, and the correct solution.
If there are multiple attempts possible per task, you can also start a new attempt at a solution (). The number of attempts will be displayed to you per task ().
Interrupt test
You can use the button to interrupt a test. All information about the test (including previously given answers and inputs, processing status) will be saved so that you can later continue the test where you left off.
Complete test
You can use the button to complete a test. If the task is still unprocessed or not completely answered, a corresponding warning message will appear.
Pressing the button will complete the whole test and assess all (not yet evaluated) tasks as well as the entire test. Depending on the settings, you will then be given feedback on your solution and information on the assessment.
Time limit
Both the entire test and individual sections can be limited with regard to their processing time.
- : Remaining processing time of the entire test
- : Remaining processing time of a section
The remaining working time will be constantly displayed to you. If the working time has expired, the test will be automatically terminated.
