Step 4: The main area now shows a form field. Select a date range and time range for when your exam is scheduled (you can type the date in YYYY/MM/DD eg. 2022/09/19 or use the calendar select).

Choose ‘yes’ if the exam is not the same length as the class (Ex: a 30 minute quiz for a 90 minute class). IF you choose ‘yes’, indicate the length of the exam. (note: this will be confirmed by your professor.)
