- End Time - this allows you to specify a time that the assessment will cease being available. Any attempt to access the assessment after that time by a participant other than the owner or a manager will fail.
- Recall Time - this allows you to specify a time that after which participant will be able to recall theire responses to the assessment. After this time has been reached, a Recall button will appear on the login screen to permit participants to access their evaluated assessment. This is useful when several sections of students are accessing an assessment over a period of time and you do not wish the correct answers released until all have participated in the assessment. It also allows for time to complete manual online scoring of essay questions before any results are released.
- Elapsed Time Limit - this allows you to specify the length of time a participant is given to complete an assessment. When the time expires, Test Pilot will refuse to accept or record a participant's responses. The are some suboptions of interest. The suboptions all require that participants have a Javascript-capable broswer such as Netscape 3+ or Internet Explorer 4+ and that they have not disabled Javascript.
- include a countdown timer - this causes a small countdown timer to be shown at the top of the web pages generated for the assessment.
- warn participants before expiration - this causes an alert message to appear at the specified interval before timer expiration. This option requires that you include a countdown timer.
- submit user responses automatically upon expiration - this option causes the participant's responses to be submitted for evaluation, regardless of their state of completion, upon expiration of the countdown timer. This option also requires that you include a countdown timer.
