This guide details the process of completing a Blackboard Test (mid-semester, end-of-semester, deferred or supplementary) Learn.UQ exam, where all exam questions are included within a Blackboard Test.

Note: If prompted, complete the UQ Authentication process to access your exam. For further information refer to Multi-factor authentication (MFA) guide.

You will need to start your exam at the time listed on your personal examination timetable. You must start submitting after the exam start time + duration (check your personal exam timetable) + 10 minutes planning time. 

Note: It may take up to 15 minutes for your exam to upload and submit.
