Enterprise Portal: Manage Multiple Exam Uploads

You can end up with multiple exam uploads in various circumstances. For example, you might have set up the assessment to allow multiple attempts, as in the case of a mock exam or practice exam. Or during an exam, an exam-taker might accidentally upload the answer file prematurely and need to try again.

This article explains how to allow multiple attempts, how to manage multiple answer files, and how to accept one answer file as the final score.

Note: Uploads will not be accepted past the upload deadline. If you need to allow an exam-taker to upload an answer file after the posted deadline, refer to the procedure (in this article) to Extend the Upload Deadline.
