Accessing a Perception (or other secured) exam in an unscheduled room

Questionmark Perception exams are untimed, allowing students with any AER extra time requirements to take an exam without it being created explicitly by iSolutions. We also have override codes that allow assessment teams to access exams that run in smaller in-school rooms.
