How does it work?
Written exam software designed for flexible assessment delivery
Running written exams can become difficult to manage when assessments involve large candidate groups, multiple question types and tight turnaround times for marking and reporting. Speedwell’s online written exam software is designed to help assessment teams manage these processes more easily while maintaining oversight across the assessment process.
The platform supports both digital and paper-based written exams, allowing organisations to choose the format that best suits their assessment requirements. Exams can be created, delivered and reviewed through one system, with scanned paper exam results also imported back into the platform for reporting and analysis.
Candidates can complete formative and summative assessments securely on their preferred devices, while assessment teams can monitor progress and access reporting throughout the exam process.
See the benefits of Speedwell’s written exam software below.
