Q: How do I set a time limit for an assessment in Blackboard?

1. Once an assessment is added to a content area, click Modify Test options from the Modify Test page. (If the assessment was added previously, click Modify next to the assessment, then click Modify the Test options.)
   
2. Scroll down to #2 Test Availability and check the box next to Test Timer. Input the time allowed for the assessment using the Hours and Minutes drop-down boxes. Click Submit to add the timer.
   
   Note: The test timer will not "kick students out" of an assessment when they reach the end of the allotted testing period. Instead, Blackboard will allow the students to complete the assessment and will record a "!" instead of a score to alert the instructor to check the test and make any modifications to the score (if necessary).
