Deleting a Test submission

Overview

You may want a Candidate to reattempt a particular Test. In this scenario, you can delete the Candidate’s submitted version of the Test. This will reset the Candidate’s Test status to Invited and the previous submission including any proctoring records will be erased.

 Note: It is recommended that you do not delete a Candidate Test record if the Test is in progress.
