Timing
D2L Quiz Timer

Some tests and quizzes have a time limit, if this is the case there will be a count down clock at the top of each quiz page.

Some quizzes automatically submit when the time has expired,
other quizzes will let the test continue, but the instructor will be notified of how long the test took before being completed.

The timer keeps running, even if you close the quiz, so don't close the test without submitting to take a break.
