FAQ & troubleshooting

Answers to the questions schools ask most, and what to do when something gets in the way.

For Everyone

For students

I cannot see my exam.
Check you signed in with the email address your school added. An exam appears once it is published and you are on its candidate list; ask your teacher if it is missing.
It says “That access code is not right.”
The code is read out in the room. Check it with your invigilator; capital letters do not matter.
My connection dropped, or my device died.
Your answers were saved on the device as you went. Open the exam again, on any device, and carry on. The clock does not stop while you are away.
I cannot press Submit.
Some exams only let you hand in near the end. The answer sheet says when submitting opens.
I cannot see my marks.
Your teacher may not have released them yet, or the exam does not show marks. The result page says which.
I do not have a password.
Use Continue with Google with your school email, or press Forgotten your password? on the sign-in page to set one.

For teachers and administrators

I need to change a published exam.
If nobody has started it, Unpublish exam on the Settings tab makes it a draft again. Once someone has started, cancel it and build a new one.
A student needs more time.
Before the exam, give them their own time on the Candidates tab. During it, use Add time in the live room.
An answer key was wrong.
Correct the question, then use Re-grade every attempt on the Result tab, or change single marks on an attempt’s answer sheet.
The exam opened at the wrong time.
Check the exam’s Time zone under When it runs. Every time on that card is read in that zone.
Publishing is refused.
The message says why: usually a set with no questions, sets that do not match in count or marks, or a rule that asks for more questions than there are.
A walk-in lost their entry card.
On the Candidates tab, use the New password and entry card button beside their name.
I cannot delete a class.
A class with students or an exam cannot be deleted. Move its students to another class first.
The AI review will not let me add the questions.
Some questions still need an answer. Give them one with Edit, use Ask the AI again, or Drop them.
