Some clients have their own integration and flow. Feedback should be given on the client’s platform itself. Sometimes they do not require test-takers to give feedback on the Mercer Mettl platform. To accomplish this, we are adding a setting at the assessment level showing “Don’t ask for feedback post-test completion.” Enabling this setting will remove the feedback widget from the test-taking experience
Setting can be enabled/Disabled from here

Disconnection Duration is the maximum duration for which the test-taker can be disconnected from test window.
Why will a test be stopped when exceeding the disconnection time?
Many customers had the concern that the test-takers would disconnect from the test on purpose to use unfair means to take the test. Hence, many clients wanted an adjustable setting wherein they could configure this disconnection time for cheating prevention.
If the test-taker attempted to connect to the test-window after the disconnection duration had passed, the test would be terminated or would not start.
The diagram below depicts a clear understanding of the concept of disconnection duration.
How exactly do we set the disconnection time in assessment?
Please refer to the screenshot below which clearly depicts how you can enable this setting. A maximum disconnection time also needs to be set after enabling this setting for any test.
Scenarios when this setting is enabled
Points to note:
- If the test-taker has started the test and the setting has been changed, running tests will be unaffected by this change in settings.
- In case authorization is being used, please set the disconnection duration considering the off set of waiting time for the test-taker to get back to the test accordingly.
- Customers can resume the test for these test-takers from the Results page where these candidates would appear in Disconnected/Expired status. However, as the candidate has already consumed the complete duration of disconnection, in the next disconnection their test will be ended.
Below is how the screen would appear after test taker’s disconnection duration has exceeded.
The main objective of this feature is to facilitate the client to send reminder emails to the test takers who were invited to take the test but haven’t even registered for the test. Important changes that have been done are:
- Introduction of “Test Email”. The user has to mandatorily send a test email before sending the actual reminders once any changes have been made in the email template.
- Maintaining history of when any reminder email(s) sent to any test taker. Changes are done both in the User interface and the Excel downloaded from Yet to start tab.
Now any test taker in the Yet to Start status on the results page, can be sent a reminder. The maximum limit for now is 4. That means any test taker can be sent 4 reminder emails at max with one invitation email already sent.
Note: Even if the reminder email is not delivered/bounced due to the recipient test taker, it would still be counted as an attempt
Log history of reminders sent would also be available to keep track of which invited test taker has been sent how many reminder emails.
Excel getting downloaded for the Yet to Start test takers status, the date of reminder emails sent would be have addition data.
