You can adjust your exam timers to reflect your approved accommodations. We offer a variety of timing options to reflect common accommodations in our programs, including standard, 1.25x time, 1.5x time, and 2x time. To adjust the timing for your practice exams:
Log in to your Blueprint account.
Navigate to the Exams section.
Select 'Take Exam' for the practice exam you'd like to take.
After selecting the number of sections, click 'OK'.
Here is where you can select your timing options.
Please note that once an exam has been started, you are not able to change the timing.
Also note, these settings will only apply to the exam you've selected. You will need to repeat these steps for each practice exam.
Blueprint practice exams include a pause-and-resume feature to accommodate breaks. Here’s how it works:
During the exam, exit the test interface when you need a break. The timer will pause automatically.
Take your break as needed.
Rejoin the exam when ready, and the timer will resume from where you left off.
If you need to split a practice exam over multiple days:
Use the same pause-and-resume functionality to stop the exam at any point.
Rejoin the exam on a later day to continue.
FAQs and Troubleshooting
What if my accommodations are not yet approved?
We always recommend getting approval for all needed accommodations prior to enrollment, as all exams need to be taken under accurate testing conditions. You could take the exams before getting approval, but for example if you take them with 1.5x time and don't get approved, it would be an issue for your guarantee (for applicable products). What you do will depend on when you're testing, how long you plan to study, and how important the guarantee is to you.
Once your accommodations are officially approved, submit the documentation to accommodations@blueprintprep.com so they can mark your account accordingly.
Can I take exams untimed?
No, exams must be taken under standard or accommodated timing conditions to ensure they simulate the actual test format.
How do I handle timed breaks?
For timed breaks, use a separate timer to track the duration of your break. Exit the exam to pause the timer, and rejoin when the break ends.
Where can I find the timing options?
See above! Timing options appear after you click "Start" on the practice exam interface, directly after the "Select number of sections" question.
You can contact accommodations@blueprintprep.com with any course accommodations notifications or questions.
