If you want to add a test during test taking then this is possible using the "Change session" button. You can view the answers to the session with the "View answers" button. To change or check the answers (for example to grant points to a written essay, or add comments to written text) then press the "Check answers" button. PLEASE NOTE : results of commercial (paid tests) can only be edited 24 hours after finishing the test! This really is the date and time the TEST is finished.

If you would like to delete the test which cannot be undone then press the "Delete test" button. If narrative reports are available for this test then press the "Reports" button to view them.
