This article will cover how to hide the timer while taking a test.
When an instructor sets a time limit on a test, students start the submission and while in the test can hide the timer.
Above the first question will show the timer, select the slashed out eye icon.
The timer will be hidden. The eye icon will remain if needed can be selected to view the time.
Note: if student's choose to hide the timer, Blackboard will not display reminders (such as "5 minutes remaining").
