Use the Question Navigation bar

Teachers and students can use the Question Navigation bar to reference a question’s status and to navigate between questions. The Question Navigation bar contains visual cues (icons) that students use to quickly identify question statuses. These statuses prompt students to act on questions that may need their attention before submitting tests to teachers for review and grading.

The Question Navigation bar is used to view the following question statuses and information.

  • White circle with gray border — question not answered
  • Blue circle — answered question
  • Blue ribbon — bookmarked question

The total number of questions and their current statuses appears at the bottom of the drop-down list.

  • Total number of questions in the test
  • Unanswered questions
  • Bookmarked questions

 

Navigate to a question sequentially

Move forward or backward one question at a time by using the Back or Next buttons.

Click or tap the Back or Next buttons to move to the previous or next question available in the assessment.

The arrows inside the circles are dark and active when there are questions for you to navigate to. The arrows become gray and inactive when you have reached the first or last question in the assessment.
