In this article, we will go over our reset and extend timer features, where you can extend your student's time while administering tests.
Welcome to our guide on the reset and extend timer functions! Designed to optimize student assessments, these functions offer the convenience of resetting scores and timers while preserving student responses, granting additional testing time to meet individual needs.
The Reset and Extend Timer features are found within the test section of the ChalkTalk application. Select Tests in the main navigation, and then choose one of the specific exams in the Test Sessions list.
To work with the Reset Timer and Reset features for your class or for individual students, you must first assign the relevant exam section. Learn more about assigning tests here.
Extend Timer
The extend timer function is a game-changer for educators seeking to accommodate students' individual needs by providing additional testing time without compromising data integrity within an unlocked exam section.
Extending the timer means it will be set back to its original value. So if it was a 35-minute exam section you reset, the student(s) will immediately have an additional 35 minutes, counting down from the moment of extension.
Note that the timer will be reset for in-progress exams only. If any students did not begin or already submitted the exam, no effect will take place.
To reset the timer for one student:
Open the Tests tab, then choose the Test Session.
Next to the Tests Section, click on the List Icon to expand the section and view the student's list.
Click on the Extend Timer button next to the student you want to reset the exam timer for.
You will get a notification message indicating that the timer was reset successfully.
To Extend the Timer for all students:
Open the Tests tab, then choose the Exam Session.
Click on the Reset Exam Timer icon next to the Exam Section.
Once you do that, you will get a message, confirming that the timer has been reset for exams in progress.
Reset Test
This feature enables you, as a teacher, to reset the exam time and score for any or all of your students within an unlocked exam section, without losing any responses/ answers.
Please note that you can only Reset submitted exams.
To reset the exam for one student:
Open the Tests tab, then choose the Exam Session.
Next to the Exam Section, click on the List Icon to expand the section and view the students' list.
Click on the Reset button next to the student you want to reset the exam for. Please note that while a student is taking an exam, the Reset button for that student is inactivated, so you can't click on it. After the student submits the exam, the button will turn active.
4. Once you click on the Reset button, a pop-up message will ask you to confirm the action. Click on the Confirm button to proceed.
Once you confirm, you will see another message indicating that the exam was successfully reset.
To reset the exam for all students:
Open the Tests tab, then choose the Exam Session.
Click on the Reset icon next to the Exam Section.
Once you do that, you will get a message, confirming that the reset action has been done successfully. Note that this will reset exams for students that have submitted already. Those still taking the exam will not be affected.
That's all :)
