Exclude Exam Time

This basically ‘stops the clock’ while Student is in an Exam in the module. It excludes the Exam time from the total ‘Module Time’ (time the student spent in the module) in reports, AND it excludes the Exam time being counted toward ‘Minimum Module Time’ and ‘Maximum Module Time’ when those settings are turned ON.

The entire time in the exam including reviewing scored answers, re-taking failed exam, etc. is included in the time that is excluded. So it basically excludes time spent on anything other than Content pages, Review Questions, and Surveys.

Note: That it applies to ALL Exams within a module.


Examples With This Feature Turned ON:

  1. The module has 40 pages plus a 20-question exam. The student spends 18 minutes on the content pages, review questions, and survey. Then, the student takes 8 minutes to do the exam, fails, and spends an additional 4 minutes re-taking the exam and passes. Finally, the student continues to the survey, spending 2 minutes on that. The total module time would be shown as 20 minutes (18 + 2 minutes).
  2. The module has a “Minimum Module Time” setting of 30 minutes. If a student spends 10 minutes going through the content and review questions, and then takes the exam in 10 minutes, they will still have 20 minutes of remaining time to spend in the module.
  3. The module has a “Maximum Module Time” setting of 30 minutes.  He spends 25 minutes on the content and review questions, then starts the exam. He then spends 20 minutes doing the exam. When he is done with the exam, he still has 5 minutes left to complete the module before it closes.
