I have an online exam using the info portal Blackboard Academic Suite. It is timed and once started must be finished. Is there any way I can pause this time?

I doubt it, without getting in and changing some of the programming of the server (or stopping its system time clock).

Fair warning: If you're stupid enough to post a confession it could be held against you in a court of law. SWIM doesn't make a post less useful for the prosecution, either.

Other than the obvious, studying, are there any other solutions? (I could do well on the test right now but an A plus is too tempting if it's possible.)

I've used blackboard before. I tried altering the cookies with javascript but that didnt work. But my new teacher gives us two attempts so I just open a new tab and compare the questions and answers.

You expect a university to be that unsecured?

You'd be surprised.

^^^^^^^
Exactly. That was part of my inspiration. We only get one shot. I could always submit one with no answers and say that "I no computtar g00d?!" and get allowed a second attempt.... Fuck it i am just gonna study.

I've never used blackboard so I don't know if the timer is client-side or server-side.

Tsearch comes to mind though.

I remember being able to pause it by holding the top bar of the window if it wasn't maximized. That bar that runs parallel to those three buttons at the top, yeah, I used to be able to just hold it and pause the time. Don't know how effective that is now.

Probably that stopped the time from being rendered.

I'd guess that it's offloading the control to the client via javascript, so just look over that and see what you can do.
