What is a section?

A section is where you group the pages that will contain the test questions. When you create a new test, at least one section is created automatically.

              Setting up a starting content for the section

              To add an introductory explanation or media:

              • Enable Starting Content under section settings.
                • Use the rich content editor to add text, expressions, images, videos, or instructions.
                  Set Starting Content as
                  Set Starting Content as "Active" and enter content in the rich content editor.
                  If the section has a time limit, the timer starts after the test-taker proceeds past the starting content.

                  Limiting navigation among section pages

                  You can control how test-takers navigate through pages of a section:

                  • Allow going forward & backward (default): Full freedom.
                    • Allow only going backward: Test-takers can return to previous pages but must progress one-by-one.
                      • Don't allow going forward and backward: Forces sequential progression without return.
                        These settings apply within a section. To restrict navigation between sections, use test-level settings.

                        Randomizing the order of sections for each test-taker

                        Enable Shuffle Sections to randomize the order of pages in the section.

                        Shuffled sections will have their order randomized.

                        Setting a time limit for the section

                        To limit the time for an entire section:

                        Enable the Time Limit option for the specific section you want to restrict with a response time limit.

                        Section-based time limit setting.
                        Section-based time limit setting.

                        Set a unit for your time limit.

                        Choose desired time limit length in either minutes or seconds..
                        Choose desired time limit length in either minutes or seconds..
                        <br>

                        You can also assign time limits to individual pages or the entire test for more granular control.
