What is eSystem software?

A well-structured question bank plays an important role in maintaining assessment quality and consistency over time. Speedwell’s question bank software is designed to help organisations manage exam content more effectively while making it easier to review, update and organise questions across multiple assessments and programmes.

The platform allows organisations to structure question banks using multiple groups and subgroups, helping assessment teams organise content in a way that reflects their curriculum, assessment requirements or qualification structure.

Built-in statistical analysis tools also provide insight into question and exam performance, helping teams identify questions that may need updating, have not been used recently or are not performing as expected.
