Where do I access my LMS exams?

Login in to UWA LMS at: lms.uwa.edu.au

Your unit coordinator will advise you on where your exam will be located. You should not require a
password for exams hosted in the LMS.

Navigate to the exam or test and select the title. On the next page, select Begin. Your Unit
Coordinator might require that you type a password to begin. If required, your Unit Coordinator will
provide you with a password. In this instance, type the password and select Submit. The system
continues to prompt for a valid password until you provide the correct one.

Tip: Don't use the browser's back button during an exam or test as this may cause loss of data.

1
How do I Take an exam or test?

At the top of each exam, you can view the information about multiple attempts, the timer,
navigation, and any other optional descriptions and instructions. Select the arrows next to the
information section to collapse or expand information.

2
What question formats will be in my exam?

The format of your exam is determined by your Unit Coordinator and may include a range of
question types, including:

• Multiple choice • Ordering


• Multiple answer • Calculated formula
• True/false • Jumbled sentence
• Fill in the blank • Short answer
• Calculated numerical • Essay
• Matching

How can I view completed questions?

The Question Completion Status section displays a saved icon for each question you have
answered. You can select a question number to jump to that question. Select the arrows next to
the status section to collapse or expand it.

Clear your Multiple Choice answer. If you're unsure of your selection on a Multiple Choice question,
you may double-click to clear your answer choice.

Your answers are auto-saved. You can also select Save Answer next to each question or Save All
Answers as you work. When you save an answer, Saved appears in the question's row.

How do I submit my exam?

When you're finished, select Save and Submit. You may see your score immediately if all questions
are auto-graded and your unit coordinator releases this information. However, your unit
coordinator must manually grade some question types such as Essays.

How do I view a test question with a rubric?

If you have an associated rubric with an Essay, File Response, or Short Answer question,
select View Rubric. You can view the grading criteria before you answer the question.

3
Is my exam timed?

Your unit coordinator will let you know if your exam or test is timed. The timer status bar keeps
you updated on the time left whilst taking the exam.

The total time you spend on the exam is recorded and available to the marker when you submit.

Tip: If you save and exit, the timer continues to run. For example, you start on Tuesday, save and exit,
and then complete the test on Thursday. The timer will show that you took 48 hours to complete.

Timer status bar

When you take a timed exam, the remaining time appears on a status bar. Use the arrows next to
the timer to collapse or expand it.

Timer warnings appear when half the time, 5 minutes, 1 minute, and 30 seconds remain. When the
remaining time reads 1 minute, 30 seconds, the status bar turns yellow. At 1 minute, the warning is
red, and at 30 seconds, both the status bar and the warning are red. If you collapse the timer, you
won't see the colour changes.

Can I use Turnitin with my exam?

Some of your exams may allow you to, or request that you, use Turnitin. Most often Turnitin will
be used where assessment validity is required, and for exams where work with spreadsheets, data
sets, graphs or other media are needed as part of the paper.

Please consult the following if you require information about using Turnitin.

Do I need wifi to take my exam?

You require a device that can access the internet throughout the exam and can access the LMS as
you have for online learning during the semester.
