Give a Student Extra Time on a Test
You can set up test exceptions for students who need extra time to complete a test in Schoology. To do this, you need to set up two tests.
- Set up the test the way you want it in the course.
- Excuse the student(s) who need extra time from this test (use the flag icon in the appropriate cell in the gradebook).
- Save the test to your Resources area (gear icon > Save to Resources).
- Import the test back to your course (Add Materials > Import from resources).
- On this copy of the test, set up the parameters to account for the extra time, or make it untimed.
- Assign the copy of the test to the individual student(s) who need more time. You do that via the triangle/3 dots when you edit the quiz—Individually Assign. You can type the name(s) of the student(s) and it will auto-complete. None of the other students will get this test, so you don’t have to excuse them.
