  • This checklist provides a step-by-step approach to conducting an exam created by you  or shared to you by a colleague.

    Ensure you follow each section for a smooth exam experience.

    Preparation: Preview the Exam
    Before allowing students access, preview the exam from a student’s perspective to confirm everything is functioning as expected.

     

    Step 1. Allowing students access to the exam

    1. Open The Exam
      Before students can enter, you need to adjust the exam access to let students in to the exam.
      More detailed information about access can be found here: Give students access to an exam

    2. Student Login Process
      Students will enter the exam by visiting Exam.net and inputting the provided exam key or they can log in with their details or through their Google/Microsoft account if the exam is linked to an LMS.

    3. High-Security Mode (if applicable)
      • If high-security mode is required, students will be directed to an app for secure access.
      • Note for Chromebook Users: Students using Chromebooks must log in via the kiosk app in "logged-out" mode when accessing high-security exams.

     

    Step 2: Monitoring the Exam

    1. Access the Monitoring View
      To monitor the exam, go to the exam list and click the monitoring icon next to the exam, or navigate to "Monitoring/Results" in the main menu.

    2. Monitor Student Activity
      The monitoring view provides tools to oversee and manage the exam process. Use this view to ensure everything runs smoothly and to resolve any issues that arise.
      • In this guide, we will go through where to find each function in the monitoring view.

    3. Troubleshooting
      If you encounter any issues during the exam, refer to our FAQ widget or support pages for common questions and answers.

     

    Step 3: Exam Submission

    1. Student Submission ProcessStudents should end their exam by submitting their work within the platform.
