Audible Countdown Alerts

Overview

This feature provides beep alerts to help candidates track time during assessments.

How It Works

When enabled, candidates will hear alerts at:

• 2 minutes remaining
• 30 seconds remaining

These alerts apply to:

• Full assessment (if timed)
• Timed sections
• Timed questions

Additionally, a beep will play at the start and end of audio/video recordings.

Important Notes

• Alerts won’t play during:
  • Audio/video recording

  • Media playback

    No alerts if:

  • Total time ≤ 2 minutes (no 2-min alert)
  • Total time ≤ 30 seconds (no 30-sec alert)
• Alerts won’t retry if skipped

Setting Details

• Location: Assessment settings → Configuration Tab
• Setting: Audible countdown alerts

• Default: OFF

  

Once enabled, alerts apply across the entire assessment automatically.
