What is it about?

Many organisations continue to rely on paper-based assessments for written exams, practical assessments and structured clinical examinations. Whether due to existing processes, assessment requirements or candidate needs, paper exams still play an important role across education and professional assessment environments. 

Working alongside Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) scanners and paper marking sheets, our eSystem allows you to deliver paper MCQ exams, while still benefiting from question banking, reporting and assessment analysis. 

Organisations have the flexibility to choose the approach that best suits their requirements and their candidates.
