Hey All,

For a sequence we want to require at least attempts at all questions on a 
practice exam before giving access to a second iteration of the exam and that 
is reflected in the conditional in the sequence we’re using. HOWEVER, because 
the practice exam is times, some students do not complete it, so I’d like to 
provide an alternate condition for access to the second iteration and am 
looking at external::datestatus as a possible solution to that 
(https://s10.lite.msu.edu/res/msu/albertel/test/ext_examples.problem#0)

Two questions: (1) does anyone know what status would appear indicating that 
time is up?  I’m guessing that will be “CANNOT_ANSWER” but would appreciate 
verification if anyone knows for sure.

(2) The only $external:: “incantation” of this type I’ve used before is for 
Randomseed and in the context of the problem itself. There’s only one seed for 
the problem so no ambiguity there. Is this possible to use in a conditional in 
a sequence and if so, can you point me at the right syntax for that?

Thank you,

Doug
