Using Blackboard:
Taking a Test or Quiz

Some instructors have a separate course folder or area for tests and quizzes. Other instructors place tests and quizzes directly in each course module or section. There should also be some descriptive text underneath the link to the quiz or test.

Testing Tips

  • Do not click the browser's "Back" button or close the browser window while taking a quiz.
  • If you lose your Internet connection while taking a quiz, contact your instructor immediately to report the problem.
  • The total time used when taking a quiz will be recorded automatically for your professor when you submit your answers. If a quiz is timed, a 1-minute warning will be displayed to alert you so that you can submit your answers within the time allowed.

The tutorial below describes how to take a quiz or test in Blackboard.
