Allow candidates more time or resubmission of an assessment.
Candidates may sometimes require extra time to complete their assessment or wish to resubmit their answers. As an administrator, you have the flexibility to accommodate these needs by extending their submission deadline or allowing for a resubmission.
By clicking 'extend deadline' the candidate will receive another email to log into their assessment and all assessment timers will be reset.
Extending a Candidate's Deadline:
When you select the 'Extend Deadline' option, the candidate will be notified by email that they have been given additional time. This extension will reset any timers within with the assessment, saving any answers already submitted. Candidates can then revise their existing responses or use the extra time to complete the assessment if they haven't submitted it.
How It Works:
- The extension grants candidates an additional period equal to the original deadline to submit their assessment.
- Any specific question timers will also be reset, giving candidates another full duration to answer each question, just as in their initial attempt.
Example: If an assessment originally had a 4-day deadline from the invitation date, with 2-minute timers on specific questions, selecting 'Extend Deadline' will provide the candidate with 4 additional days to complete and submit the entire assessment. Timed questions will be reset, offering another 2 minutes to answer those questions.
