Exams in Blackboard

Best Practices for Students

Log directly into Blackboard (http://blackboard.xavier.edu). Do not enter Blackboard via the “ courses” link on the Portal.
Do not have multiple browser windows or tabs open when taking the exam.
Do not browse away from the exam once you have opened it.
Unless it is necessary for test taking, close all other applications when taking the exam.
Click “Save” on each question answered.
Do not wander away from your computer, or allow the computer to go to screensaver, sleep, or standby when taking the exam.
Know the “time out” period for your computer, and manipulate the mouse or the keyboard to avoid exceeding that time limit.
Be absolutely sure to click “Submit” when you are finished with the exam.
