RegisterBlast FAQ’s:

  1. I don’t see my students when I log in:

    You will not see the students registered to your exam until we have manually connected them to your test. This step is usually done the day before the student is registered to take the exam. Once they have been connected, you will be able to see who has taken your exam and what the status is. (i.e. taken, being taken or complete; listed by exam)

  2. I have more than one document to upload for the exam.

    You can upload as many documents to the submission as your need. Under “Choose File” button, select the “Add an additional file” button (as shown in the picture below).
