How does an online exam work?
Secure online exam software designed for reliable exam delivery
Running secure online exams can be challenging when assessments involve large candidate groups, different devices and tightly controlled exam conditions. Our eSystem is designed to make the process easier to manage while helping organisations deliver secure and reliable assessments for both candidates and assessment teams.
Create exams, organise question banks, monitor live exam progress and review results through one integrated system. Our eSystem supports written exams, multiple choice assessments, OSCEs and other assessment formats used by universities, medical schools and professional qualification providers.
Candidates can complete exams securely on supported devices, while assessment teams can use lockdown settings and a range of controls designed to support secure exam delivery throughout the assessment.
