# Complete Assessments and View Your Results on ChimeEdu

> Take a ChimeEdu assessment, submit your answers, and view your auto-graded results. Understand how timers, question types, and scoring work.

Assessments are tests your teacher sets — they may include multiple choice, true/false, short answer, or written response questions. Objective answers are auto-graded the moment you submit, so you'll see your score straight away without waiting for your teacher to mark it manually.

## Taking an assessment

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find the assessment in your classroom feed">
    Open your classroom dashboard and look for the assessment in your activity feed. Click or tap it to open.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read the instructions">
    Before you begin, read any instructions your teacher has left. They may tell you how much time you have, whether you can go back and change answers, or what the assessment covers.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Answer each question">
    Work through the questions at your own pace (or within the timer if one is set). Your progress is tracked as you go — you can see which questions you've answered and which are still to do.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Keep an eye on the timer">
    If a timer is running, you'll see the countdown on screen. Make sure to budget your time so you can reach every question before it runs out.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review your answers">
    Before you submit, take a moment to review your answers. Check you haven't accidentally skipped a question.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit">
    When you're happy, click **Submit**. Your objective answers are graded instantly and your score appears right away.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Once you submit, you cannot go back and change your answers. Make sure you're ready before you click Submit.
</Warning>

<Tip>
  If there's no per-question timer, read through all the questions before you start answering — it helps you plan how to use your time and spot which questions might take longer.
</Tip>

## Question types and how to answer them

Assessments can include several different question types. Here's what to expect from each one:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Multiple Choice" icon="circle-dot">
    Read the question and select the **one best answer** from the options provided. Click or tap your choice to select it.
  </Card>

  <Card title="True / False" icon="toggle-on">
    Read the statement and select either **True** or **False**. There's no in-between — go with what you believe is correct.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Short Answer" icon="pencil">
    Type a brief written answer in the text box. Your teacher will have indicated how much detail is expected.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Written Response" icon="file-lines">
    Write a longer, more detailed response. Take your time to structure your answer — your teacher will review these personally.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Timers

Not all assessments are timed, but when a timer is in place you'll see a countdown clearly displayed on screen.

* **Overall timer** — a single countdown for the whole assessment. Pace yourself across all questions.
* **Per-question timer** — each question has its own countdown. When it runs out, the assessment moves to the next question automatically.
* **Extended time** — if your teacher has enabled extended time for you, your timer will automatically reflect this. You don't need to do anything to activate it.

## Your results

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Objective questions" icon="bolt">
    Multiple choice and true/false answers are graded **instantly** when you submit. Your score appears on screen straight away — no waiting required.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Written responses" icon="clock">
    Written response questions are reviewed by your teacher personally. Your teacher will mark and release these scores separately, so check back later.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

Your score is saved to your classroom record automatically. You can return to the assessment at any time to review which questions you got right and wrong.

## If you can't finish in one sitting

Some assessments allow you to save your progress and return later. If you need to stop partway through:

1. Check whether a **Save Progress** option is available before you close the tab.
2. If you're unsure whether the assessment allows it, **ask your teacher** before closing — some assessments are set to submit automatically after a set period.

<Note>
  Not all assessments support saving progress — it depends on how your teacher has configured it. When in doubt, check with your teacher before stepping away.
