Hi Jenny We don't set a time limit as such. We've taken some advice from our US colleagues and adopted their method, which seems to be working well so far. We set a 5-minute timer going once we've received in half of the iRAT scores (captured via clickers from Turning Technologies). The iRATS on my module this semester are 10 questions in length. It's usually takes somewhere between 20 and 30 minutes for all 105 students to complete (this includes the time to type the answers into the clicker, check them and submit). If they find the questions more challenging (as they did yesterday), it takes a bit longer. Using this flexible method we've overcome the need (so far) to allow extra time for disability students.

I'd be grateful to hear about length of time others have allowed. Several students are complaining this is not enough time!
