Description
Adding extra time can be done in different ways and moments. In Remindo, for example, it is possible to add extra time via accessibility profiles, this profile is linked to a candidate. In the event that something unexpected happens during a test, extra time may be allocated to one or more participants. The latter can be found in the activity overview, which means, among other things, that supervisors (who have these rights) have the option to determine this on the spot.
Attention!
In the blueprint, the delivery settings must indicate that extra time may be given for this blueprint in the test environment.
Settings
Add additional time in advance
There are two ways to allocate extra time: to all candidates at the test moment, or to a selection. This goes in different ways.
-
Add extra time to all candidates: You can add extra time in this way when planning a test moment. This setting can be found under 'Availability of the registration'. First select the option 'Yes, allocate extra time' in the drop-down menu. This ensures that all candidates receive the extra time in minutes added to this specific test moment. It therefore deviates once from the standard settings of the blueprint selected for the test moment.
Another default option is 'No (use accessibility profiles)'. This means that if a candidate has an accessibility profile with extra time attached, it will be applied to this test moment. For example, if 30 extra minutes have been set for that profile, this will apply to every test moment, but only for those specific candidates.
Accessibility profiles can be created under Administration > Settings > General tab > Accessibility settings section.
-
Assigning a specific selection of extra time: This can be done in the list of candidates for a test moment, which can be found in the schedule. Select the candidates who should receive extra time there and then the action for allocating extra time at the bottom of the screen. Then click 'Apply'.
The next screen again displays the selected candidate or candidates. Enter in the field below how many minutes of extra time will be allocated. Pay close attention to the option to replace the global extra time so that no accidental changes are made. 'Yes' adds the indicated extra time, 'No' replaces any extra time from option 1.
Add extra time afterwards
The activity overview shows planned test moments and active tests. Select an active test to add extra time there.
You can add extra time by clicking on the clock icon on the right side of the screen and entering how much extra time should be added. This is then applied immediately and the candidate can immediately see that extra time has been given. If multiple candidates are selected, an option will appear at the top of the page to allocate additional time to each candidate in the selection.
Depending on the candidate's status, it is not always possible to use the position for extra time. For example, if it is set to 'Inactive', adding time is not possible.
