Questions teachers ask

How do I keep students calm during tests?

Use the visual timer and clear rules. Calm backgrounds and simple instructions help students stay focused and less anxious.

What if some students finish early?

The 'finished' message tells them what to do next. This keeps them quiet and busy while others finish.

Can I change the instructions for different tests?

Yes, just type new instructions in the Text widget before each test.
