Hi @rmchale, Apologies for the inconvenience. Security should always be a top priority for any platform no matter what products or services it offers. More than anything else, that is the primary purpose of placing a warning and automatically logging off a user during prolonged periods of inactivity. That is a standard practice among all industries.
But we have implemented a fix to ensure that the user session won’t expire for an entire year to avoid any abrupt interruption when taking the practice tests.
The Final Test mode can’t save the exam progress since we are trying to simulate the actual AWS exam environment. Any interruption or session expiry during the practice exam will force you to retake the test, just like in a real-world AWS exam.
Take note that if you are taking the Timed-mode or Review mode, you should be able to resume your test at any moment because there is an automated Save & Resume feature in place.
In addition, the Section-based and Topic-based tests do not have the Save & Resume functionality as well. Most of the mini-quizzes in the Section-based and Topic-based tests are short and intended to finish in a single seating. That is our technique of assisting the user to become comfortable with the actual AWS testing environment in a shorter time.
This issue should not happen anymore unless you erase your cookies while the practice test is still running; otherwise, your session will end, and your progress will be lost.
