Alternative Start Time
Exam Display allows for exams to start at alternative times. This allows for staggered exams starts, and is particularly useful for mock exams or other in-school exams. Exams set to start at alternative times can be started manually.
ℹ️
This tutorial assumes that you are familiar with the basics of creating a display. Find out more at the First Display page.
Mark as alternative start
- By default, all exams are set to Auto-Start. This means that the countdowns start as soon as the Start Exam button is clicked. Deselect the Auto-Start option by clicking on the icon of the exam you wish to start manually.
- Exams that require an alternative start time are clearly marked with Alternative Start Time above an exam tile.
- Click the Start Exam button
ℹ️
In the example above, the exam on the left is set to Auto-Start, while the one on the right is set as Alternative Start. Note how that countdown on the left has started, and the one on the right has not yet started.
- Click the Start Exam button. Repeat as many times as you have alternative starts.
- The alternative start time is displayed above each exam that require a staggered start.
ℹ️
You can now operate the Exam Display screen as normal (e.g. stop exam, display options, etc.)
