How does an online exam work?
Secure online exam software designed for reliable exam delivery
Running secure online exams can be difficult when assessments involve large candidate groups, different devices and high-stakes conditions. Speedwell’s secure online exam software is designed to make the process easier to manage while helping organisations keep exams secure and reliable for both candidates and assessment teams.
Create exams, organise question banks, monitor live exam progress and review results through one system. The software supports written exams, multiple choice assessments, OSCEs and other assessment formats across universities, medical schools and professional qualification providers.
Candidates can complete exams securely on supported devices, while assessment teams can use lockdown settings, timing controls and proctoring options to help maintain exam integrity throughout the assessment.
