1. Background

Starting an ended exam could be useful for allowing students to continue writing an exam or to allow an absent student to take an exam that's ended. 

It is of great importance that grading/comments/annotations have not been done if a student is going to start the exam again before the definite hand in,  grading work for a student will disappear if a student opens an exam again after the grading has been done.

Also, if a time limit's used in the exam, it will prevent the student from continuing writing the exam since the time limit's reached.

 

2. Conditions

If a student has written an exam and wants to access the answers from the previous time, the student must open the same exam (ID or Group) with the same student details (email and student code) as used previously (these details are visible in the Monitor view if the student is unsure about the details), otherwise, the existing answers from previous time will not visible to the student as the system sees the student as a new student.
