An Attempt is a single event where you started and completed a quiz or exam. Depending on how your professor has set things up, you may have quizzes and exams which allow you to submit multiple attempts, which can be graded in various ways. Brightspace displays a screen explaining the rules for the quiz or exam you selected before starting it.
There are two Submit screens at the end of a quiz or exam. Both of these screens have to be confirmed in order for the attempt to be fully submitted to your professor.
If possible, plan ahead and make sure you take quizzes or exams on a reliable internet connection. In the event you lose connection to the internet, your device crashes, or you accidentally close your web browser during a quiz or exam, don’t panic! Usually, Brightspace will let you pick up where you left off once you browse back to the quiz or exam.
Brightspace will provide a message with a link to the quiz or exam under the alerts menu. Simply select the link to the quiz or exam in that alert to continue where you left off. If it doesn’t, contact your professor immediately.
