We improved how time limits and extra time are communicated in Assessments. This change ensures that all users understand exactly how much time is available.

Now, all users have the time limits and extra time presented in a consistent format:

Example:

“Time limit: 20 minutes + 10 minutes extra time”

This format appears:

  • When instructors configure or review assessment settings.
  • When students begin or review an assessment.
  • In the preview mode for instructors.
