⏱ What is a Timed Assessment?

Timed Assessments require learners to complete an Assessment within a specific time limit set by an administrator.

How Timed Assessments Work:

  • Once a learner starts a timed Assessment, the countdown begins immediately.

  • The Assessment must be completed in a single session.

    • The timer continues to run even if the learner closes the browser window, switches tabs, or navigates away from Security Journey.

  • A visible countdown timer appears in the upper-right corner of the Assessment screen, showing the remaining time.

🕓 How Long Does an Assessment Take?

If no time limit is enforced (i.e., untimed), the guide estimates ~ 90 seconds per question. 

Here’s a breakdown by category (when all three are included):

Category Number of Questions Approx. Time to Complete
Secure Coding 15 ~ 22 minutes
Core Security Concepts 11 ~ 16 minutes
Secure Development & Design 13 ~ 20 minutes

  Artificial Intelligence and LLM

 11   ~ 20 minutes 

Total (all categories): 50 questions

❓ What Happens If a Learner Doesn’t Finish a Timed Assessment?

If a learner runs out of time (or closes the window etc.), any questions not answered are scored as 0%.

🔄 Skipping Questions — Can You Return to Them Later?

Yes — during an Assessment you can hit “Skip for now” on a question you don’t want to answer immediately and move to the next.

  • After you’ve moved through all questions, you’ll be given the chance to answer skipped questions.

  • But: if you skip and don’t come back to answer before submitting skipped/unanswered questions are scored as zero.
