Assign Extra Time to a Learner for an Exam (Centre)

Modified on Mon, 8 Jan at 11:51 AM

Note:  Not all centres will have the access rights to create or edit exam schedules.  This is determined by your organisation's settings.  These instructions are only applicable to those that do.


Occasionally a learner will need a little extra time to complete their exams.  This can be done so that the extra time is applied to every exam the learner sits, or just to selected exams. 


Apply Extra Time to Every Exam for this Learner

An extra percentage of the exam time can be applied to the learner's User record.  Once set, it will be applied to each and every subsequent exam a student sits (until such a time as it is adjusted or removed).  Please speak to your organisation if this is required.


Apply Extra Time only to Specific Exams

A registered learner may sometimes need extra time on some exams and not on others.  If this is the case, then the extra time can be added to the specific exam Schedule.  Add your learners to the schedule as normal.  Open the Learners tab, click on the specific learner's name, and an Extra Time field will display. You can type or use the arrows to apply a percentage extra time to the student's attempt on this exam only.  Note that a once off adjustment to any extra time already applied on a student User record can also be made here for this specific exam.
