Test status
A test’s status is derived from whether it’s still a draft and from its schedule — you don’t set it directly.| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
draft | Not yet published; students can’t start. |
scheduled | Published, but the open time is in the future. |
open | Live and accepting students (now is within the window, or no window is set). |
closed | Past the close time. |
archived | Retired by the teacher; no new sessions. |
Schedule
You can bound when students may start with an opens at and a closes at time. Outside that window, students don’t see the exam — they see one of these messages instead:Access — the student link
Each test has a single student-facing share link (itssecure_token URL). It looks like:
There’s no separate per-student login or password. Identity is collected once on the consent screen (students can also use Sign in with Google / Microsoft to auto-fill their name and mark identity as “Verified” — this confirms who they are but does not create a Proctorly account).
Student experience
This part of Settings is introduced with:“Control what students see before they start and after they submit.”
Student instructions
A free-text field (up to 2000 characters) shown on the setup screen, before the exam begins. Use it for anything students should know going in — for example:“You may use a calculator. Keep your camera on throughout the test.”
Completion behavior
