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:
- Clear your browser history and cache before taking a test (How do I do that?).
- 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 new Bb session.
- Use a wired internet connection, rather than a wireless 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.
- Make sure your browser window is maximized.
- Don’t have multiple tabs open in your browser.
- Try not to have other applications open when you take tests in Bb.
- Wait for the test to load on the page before selecting/entering answers.
- Make sure you review the test results page that appears after submitting your test to confirm that the test submission was successful and to review any feedback your instructor may have provided. You can also print this screen for your records using your browser print feature.
Many variables can contribute to you encountering online test taking issues. It’s just the nature of the online environment. But these common tips have helped to prevent many students from running into online test-taking problems.
