The difference between a request (limited to 8 per day) and a submission

Request: when you select “Take a Test” on the Chem 112 Test page, this will count as a request even if you do not finish (submit) the test. If you close your browser window or refresh the browser after selecting Take a Test, you will use up one of your daily requests, but you will not be able to submit the test. Similarly, if you use the forward or backward key on the browser (rather than the previous/next buttons in the program) you will use up a request and you will not be allowed to submit the test, even if you complete it.

Submission: when you select “submit your responses” at the end of a test, you should get a response like the one that follows along with feedback for the test you just completed.

You received 7 out of a possible 7 points or 100%

There were 7 questions whose answers received full or partial credit.

If you get this response, then your score WILL BE recorded by UTS. This counts as a submission. You will be limited to 3 total submissions fro your Unit Tests.

Examples of things that would use up a request:

1. When you select Exam in Angel
2. If you refresh your browser while taking a quiz
3. If you X out your browser window while taking the quiz
4. If you have a dropped wireless connection while taking the quiz
5. If the quiz is timed out
6. If you use the Forward or Back keys on your browser. (You may use the next and previous keys within the software to move back and forth in the test.)
7. If you are impatient, you could submit the same quiz twice by clicking submit in succession when the computer response is slow. This will use up two requests and two submissions.

You are encouraged to request tests when you are ready to take and complete the exam in a single sitting. If you are having browser or computer problems, use the computers available in the PSU Student Labs until you are able to fix your computer. Since the request limit is very high relative to the number of submissions, you will not be given additional requests if you use all of them up.
