Secret code

Applies to all exams that use the "Use global default" option. Each exam can set its own code or disable the requirement.
Marking & Time Defaults
Global fallback values applied when no hierarchy node, exam, or question-level override is set. Marks deducted is stored as a positive number and applied as a deduction during scoring.
Timing
Exam duration is the fixed value set below.
Total time allowed for the exam, before buffer. Applies to all exams unless overridden.
Extra time added after the computed duration. Applies to all exams unless overridden at exam or candidate level.
Scoring
Questions
Questions are now managed per exam. Go to Exams to upload and edit questions for each exam.
Shuffle Defaults
Default shuffle settings applied to all exams. Can be overridden at the hierarchy node level or per exam in its own Security tab.
Question order randomization
Shuffle questions within sections
Each candidate sees the same questions but in a different order within each section.
Shuffle section order
Randomize the sequence of sections themselves. Keep this off if sections have a deliberate progression.
Shuffle sub-parts within questions
For questions that have sub-parts, randomize the sub-part order per candidate.
Shuffle MCQ answer options
Randomize the order of answer choices for every MCQ question and MCQ sub-part. Scoring is unaffected.
Terms & Conditions
Shown to candidates as a scrollable box with an "I agree" checkbox before they can log in. Fetched by the Electron app from the unauthenticated /terms Lambda route. Can be overridden at the hierarchy node level.
