- If so, make a request to a building administrator to reset the appropriate sections
Student Timer Runs Out After 4 Minutes
If a student complains that the assessment timed out after four minutes, this most likely means he or she was signed-in to the Practice Assessment. Please have the student log out and attempt to sign-in again by clicking Sign-In instead of Practice Assessment.
