Blackboard Ultra Test Taking Tips
- Take a practice test if the instructor has provided one.
- Take the test on a true laptop or desktop computer. Do not use a mobile device to take your test.
- Reboot the computer just before starting the test.
- Clear the browser cache before starting the test. Instructions can be found here: Clear Browsing History
- Make sure the web browser is the only application running on the computer while taking the test (frees up maximum resources for the browser).
- Take the test on a wired connection where possible. Never use cellular connections to take a test.
- If kicked out of the test due to a technical glitch, log back into the test immediately and continue. If this is not possible, inform the instructor immediately by email.
- Be aware of any scheduled outages for system maintenance. These notices are posted on the Blackboard login screen in the Blackboard Maintenance Window module.
