When teachers assign an assessment or practice exam on Albert, they can choose to set a time limit for the assessment.

Option 1: Using the Suggested Time Limit

Each assessment comes with a suggested time limit. For full-length AP®, ACT®, SAT® or state assessment practice exams, the suggested time limit will mirror the actual exam. If you wish to assign an assessment in sections, each section has its own suggested time limit.

To set the timer to the suggested time limit, simply enter the prescribed minutes in the Time Limit (minutes) box on step two of the assignment flow.

Option 2: Setting a Custom Time Limit

If you would like to set a custom time limit on your assignment, you can type whatever time limit you would like in the Time Limit (minutes) box on step two of the assignment flow.

To remove the timer, simply leave the box blank.
