To send reminders of tests to candidates, follow these steps:

1. In the Candidates section, click Invited.
2. Select the candidates to whom you want to send reminders for the test.
   
   Important: You can send reminders to the candidates with the statuses 'Not attempted' or 'Test reset' only.
   
   
   
   When you click Select now, the applicable row gets deselected. You can select relevant rows and continue.

4. Click Yes, send the reminder(s).

You have successfully sent the reminders.

You can also select auto-reminders, which will send the reminders automatically to the candidates after the initial invite. To learn more about auto-reminders, read this article.

How does auto-reminder work?

The first reminder is sent 48 hours after the initial invite if any of the following conditions happen:

• • The candidate hasn’t taken the test. 
  • The test invite hasn’t expired.
  • The test End Date is more than 48 hours in the future
  If either the end date or expiration date is set, a reminder will be sent 24 hours before the test ends or before the invite expires, whichever comes first, if the candidate has not yet taken the test. If both the end date and expiration date are not set, a reminder will be sent one week after the invite was sent if the candidate has not taken the test yet.
