Skip out of unfinished QUE after certain time

[AW_1]

I need to administer a test consisting of 60 items. I want to impose a time limit of 15 minutes. If Ps have not completed the test at the 15 minute mark we need to (either manually or automatically) move them onto the next QUE file and save the data from the unfinished test.

How do I do this?

Check this out from the user's guide and see if it helps:

duration for timed items (optional)
The default for many item types (instructions, essays, word documents, fill-in-the-blank, thought and recall lists, image files) is for the subject to press a key to continue. Optionally, you can set a duration for these items instead. For example, if you wanted an instruction or an image to be displayed for 30 seconds and then automatically continue, you would specify (d30). You can also limit the time a subject has to complete a given questionnaire using the d parameter.
