How do you start the contest?

How do you start the contest?
Answer:
To participate in a contest, students must come to cariboutests.com on a Contest Day (see Upcoming Contests). The website looks different on contest days: a big red START THE CONTEST replaces the contest countdown, and another replaces the banner and icons on the homepage. To start the contest, the student clicks on START THE CONTEST and logs in with their name and access code.
To see screen captures of the contest login, please see the Supervision Instructions.
For most students, the contest time window when they can start the contest is 7:30AM-3:30PM local time. So even if the homepage says START THE CONTEST, it does not mean that every student can start the contest, only those whose contest time window permits them to do so. Students can check their contest time window when signed in.
You might even see the “START THE CONTEST” message on Tuesday. In Japan and many other parts of the world, it is already the next day (Wednesday). They can start the contest, but you will have to wait until the start of your contest time window.

Which devices can be used to write the contest?

Which devices can be used to write the contest?
Answer:
The preferred device for writing the contest is a computer connected to the school network. You can also use a mobile phone or tablet. The device must be able to connect to the internet, display contest questions, allow students to choose and submit their answers, and run the interactive questions.
To see if your internet connection and device can handle the contest interface, we recommend trying a previous test on Take a Past Contest and the Games on the Games page.
If you are having issues running these with your devices, Contact Us with as much information about your issue as possible.
Also please bear in mind that students are not allowed to use a calculator during the contest, on-screen or otherwise.
Can Contests be written in another language?

Can Contests be written in another language?
Answer:
Yes! When students click on ‘START THE CONTEST’ on contest day, they must first choose the language they will write in. The options are English, French, Persian, Mandarin, Ukrainian, Khmer, Vietnamese, and Other. If you choose ‘Other’, please understand that the translations will be done by Google Translate and can be erroneous and misleading.
When and how are the answers and test ended/submitted?
-
When and how are the answers and test ended/submitted?
Answer:
Students have 50 consecutive minutes from the moment they start to write the contest.
Whenever a student selects an answer it is saved but they can come back and change it. Whenever a student correctly completes an interactive question it is saved and submitted (and they cannot do it again). If something happens like the computer crashes or the browser is closed by accident, the student can still log back in and continue the contest where they left off.
When a student has answered all questions to the best of their ability and wants to end the test, can click on 'End Test'. If they do not do this, the contest will still be submitted automatically once the server has counted that the 50 minutes are up.
There are often problems on contest day related to time and technical difficulties. Please check out the relevant FAQ section.
