Quiz timer in Articulate 360 - easily bypassed by learners?

Hi Jon,

That is an interesting observation. I also have a timed quiz uploaded to our LMS and tested the behavior as well. In our case the users have 8 minutes to answer 5 questions. 

Here is what I found in our case:

• Progress appears to be saved after each question.
  
  • For example, if a user spends 1:20 minutes on the first question and submits it, that progress is saved.
  • If they exit and return, the timer resumes at 1:20 minutes on the second question.
• However, if they spend 3:00 minutes on question 2 without answering or submitting anything, then exit, the timer resets to 1:20 minutes.
  
  • I assume this happens because no selection or submission was made, so the LMS doesn’t register any activity.

This behavior could potentially be exploited by users to bypass the time limit—essentially creating an infinite time glitch.

Best,
Dominik
