The exam software will stop working after time is over. Student cannot
choose next question or so. Only the invigilator can login. There is
no way to prevent the student doing what he is doing with softwares
other than the exam software.

If the student completed the exam and the invigilator entered the mark
and finishes the exam, it is not possible to repeat the exam in the
same system. But if the student cannot complete the exam for some
reason, it is possible to repeat. A reason for repetition will be
asked in this case.

Please note the problems you found in the questions, IT@school can
correct it in the next version of the software. As a work around,
please allow the students to insert some other picture, it the image
mentioned in the question is not available.

You can switch to english keyboard by pressing both Alt keys. The
keyboard indicator applet in the panel helps to get information on
what keyboard is currently used.

There is no direct solution to this problem also.
