Before Starting The Exam

You can exit the app by selecting the “X” in the bottom right on the student login screen

 

While You Are In The Exam

Once you are in an exam session, a Test Administrator must pause your attempt, and from the pause screen the user can log out (returning them to the student login screen where they can then exit the app using the X button at the bottom right).

If there is a connection disruption (i.e., the app cannot communicate with the server), the student can exit the app from the disruption screen.
