4. Click the black arrow/triangle in the bottom right hand corner of the screen to move on to the next question.  You will need to confirm question submission each time you move to the next question.
5. After completing the last question, the arrow will no longer appear.  In its place will be a Submit button which you must click to submit your exam.
6. You’ll receive a confirmation indicating that the exam has been submitted.  Click on OK to view your results.  It is highly recommended that you print this page as proof of completion.

Please note:

1. The exam must be completed when selected.  It cannot be selected again at a later date and it may not be resumed later.
2. Each exam has a 1 hour time limit.
3. You may only take the quiz once whether or not you complete it on the first attempt.
4. The exam does not allow backtracking.  That is, changes to the answers after submission are prohibited.
5. To prevent problems with the quiz, do not use the back arrow and do not have other programs/windows open while you are taking the quiz.  Should you experience a technical problem, please contact your instructor as soon as possible so that he can reset the exam for you.
