In this article, you will learn about the timer and auto-submit features in Objective Assessment. This helps you manage your time and complete the assessment smoothly without needing to manually submit.

​
Step-by-Step Guide

​
Timer Display Toggle

  • You may see a timer during your objective assessment which shows how much time is remaining.
  • Timer display can be toggled to hide the timer from your view depending on the test settings configured by the administrators or examiners. Use this feature to avoid getting overwhelmed by constantly watching the countdown.
  • Hiding the timer means the candidate will not visually see the countdown but the time limit for the assessment still runs in the background.
Note: When there’s last 10 secs left to finish the assessment, the color of the timer turns to red automatically.

​
Auto-Submit on Timer End

  • When the timer reaches zero, the assessment is auto-submitted immediately.
  • Auto-submission ensures all answers that the candidate provided up to that point are saved and submitted for evaluation, preventing loss of work if the candidate runs out of time.
  • This feature is critical in timed assessments to maintain the integrity of the exam and fairness for all candidates by strictly enforcing time limits.
Additional Tips:
  • Always keep track of the time yourself even if the timer is hidden, so you can pace your answers effectively.
  • Ensure a stable internet connection to avoid disruptions that may affect auto-submission at the timer end.
  • Avoid waiting until the last moments to answer questions; the auto-submit triggers promptly as soon as time runs out.
  • If possible, practice with timed sample tests to get comfortable managing your time within the set limits.
