Correct.

If the exam consists of just one problem (albeit multi-part) then you  
could also set the "Slots of availability [Part: 0] (available)"  
parameter at a Resource level for a particular student, or at a  
Resource level for a group (for that specific problem).

On thing to be aware of when using groups for this is that once a  
student has been added to a group, then for the student's session to  
reflect that he/she would need to:

(a) Click the "Check for Changes" link in the Functions menu on the  
Courses/Roles page.

or

(b) Click the "Re-select" button for the particular course on the  
Courses/Roles page.

or

(c) Log-out and log-in again.
