Uncertainty
(Unclear expectations or misunderstanding what's allowed)
You’re logged into an online exam and the proctoring system is loading. You’re told to close all other programs and clear your workspace. You clear everything off your desk...mostly. But a few questions cross your mind:

(Time pressure and in-the-moment decisions)
“I’m running out of time.”
You’re halfway through the exam when you hit a question you don’t understand. You reread it. The clock keeps ticking. Your heart rate jumps. Your thoughts race:
“I have to do something now.”
In that moment of panic, decisions can happen quickly before you’ve had a chance to think through the consequences.
