Alternative title - Setting time limits, Posting scores, automated feedback and resetting test attemptsDeciding which options to choose in the test settings can depend on what type of questions you are using, how you would like to display marks and feedback to students and when marks, correct answers and feedback will be available for students to view. Blackboard tests have optional settings to include multiple attempts. There may also be times when situations in which you might need to reset a student attempt or exclude an attempt for a test.
