[ARCHIVED] Can I open two exams at the same time?

[Augustin]

My two exam times conflict, so I have to open two quiz tabs on canvas at the same time. I don't know if I can open another quiz in one quiz time. I've never tried before. But this question is really important to me.

Hi @Augustin,

I would recommend communicating with your teachers to see if one of them can set up an alternate time for you to take an exam.

You might be able to open up both quiz tabs—some schools use lockdown browser software that prevent this—but even if you did, Canvas logs your history while taking an exam. In the logs, your teachers will see that you left the exam to view another page, and many may consider this evidence of cheating. It would probably be better to get an exam rescheduled. (Teachers can use the "Assign to" field in their setup to give you an exam time that is different from other students.)

I hope this helps!
