Blackboard Test-Taking Tips for Students Taking Finals

 

If you are taking final exams in Blackboard, the odds are that some of you will encounter issues while taking your exams. Fortunately, you can go a long way toward avoiding problems when taking tests in Blackboard if you follow this top-10 list of Blackboard test-taking tips:

  • If possible, use a wired internet connection.
  • Use a computer, rather than a mobile device, when taking a test in Bb (unless your instructor confirms that the test is mobile-compatible).
  • Use FireFox when taking a test in Bb.
  • Clear your browser history and cache before taking a test (How do I do that?).
  • Make sure your browser window is maximized.
  • Don’t have multiple tabs open in your browser.
  • Have pop-up blocking enabled on your browser.
  • Try not to have other applications open when you take tests in Bb.
  • Don’t have multiple Bb sessions open at the same time.
  • Log out of Bb and log back in before taking your test, so that you start the test with a fresh Bb session.
