Before Taking a Quiz
- Stable Internet Connection: Use a stable, preferably wired (as opposed to wireless), high speed Internet connection.
- Supported Browser: Check the System and Software Requirements to ensure you are using a Waterloo LEARN supported browser.
- LEARN Downtime: WARNING: A message will be posted on the LEARN home page indicating if a downtime is scheduled. Please do not take quizzes during this time.

Taking a Quiz
- Starting Your Quiz: If your quiz has a time limit, the timer begins as soon as you start the attempt. Leaving the quiz does not pause the timer.
- Tracking Your Answers: Keep track of your answers so that you have a record in case any computer-related problems occur.
- Saving Your Answers: Answers will be automatically saved once a response is selected. If you exceed the time limit, any questions answered after the time exceeded may not be recorded or count towards your final score.
- Watching the Time: If your quiz has a time limit, keep an eye on the Time Left displayed in the top left corner of the quiz page. Quizzes submitted after this time will be recorded as a late submission and may not include any unsaved responses.
Submitting a Quiz
