Extra Time
Exam Display allows for multiple countdowns for each exam paper. Extra time for students with access arrangements is calculated automatically. Exam Display is very flexible, and allows for the following extra times:
- Default: +10%, +25% and +50%.
- Custom: can be any (whole) number you want. No limits.
The extra time controls are available throughout the application. You can follow this tutorial on any of the Invigilation screens.
Default Extra Time
- Click on the switches available, to display the extra time countdowns you need for specific exams. Switches are independent for each exam paper, giving you complete flexibility.
The switches are reset to hide when exams are completed. The only switch that is set to 'show' by default, is the Regular Time switch. Please also note that the default extra time items cannot be removed, nor edited.
Custom Extra Time
Exam Display is the most flexible and customisable exam countdown system. You can add up to 25 custom extra time arrangements.
