• A Time Limited Test: the time limit will be on the Details & Information panel, next to the test on the course content page and within the test, as you work. You'll click on 'Start attempt' instead of 'View assessment' in this type of test

There are many different types of questions in Blackboard Ultra including matching, multiple answer, fill in the blank, essay types questions. Review your instructors instructions and grading rubric to prepare for the types of questions that will be on the test.
