Unlock Tests

If a student gets locked out of a test, you can unlock the test using one of the following options. Unlocked tests return to In Progress status and move to the student's Paused Tests list in OLA.

On the student's test screen, you can unlock a test immediately after it is locked. 

1. After the lockout message displays, click Authorize.

Via Impersonate Student

If the test window has the OLA Impersonation feature enabled, you can unlock the student's test via impersonation.

2. Select the desired test from the Locked Tests list.
