EXAM

EXAM is an electronic examination system in which an exam prepared and opened in advance by the teacher can be taken whenever it suits the student. The student books a slot for sitting the exam within a time window defined by the teacher. The students sit the exams in a dedicated room at a university or university of applied sciences. Students can also take their exams at educational institutions other than the one at which they study (‘EXAM visit’).

An EXAM visit means that the student sits an exam for their higher education institution in the EXAM room of another institution. It is up to the student to peruse the instructions for EXAM visits of the host institution before booking the slot. Among other things, the instructions include information on the opening hours of the EXAM visit facilities, how the facilities are accessed, and which software will be available on the host institution's EXAM computer during the exam. These factors determine whether it is possible to sit the exam as an EXAM visit to the host institution. In addition, the student must read the rules for using the EXAM facilities of the host institution, as the principles and rules for supervising and using its EXAM facilities are followed in the host institution.

A Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) exam differs from an ordinary EXAM examination in that the student sits it outside the electronic facilities using a device of their choice.

Exam facilities provide a computer for sitting the exam and possibly a graphics tablet. The facilities have recording camera surveillance. The question types are:

- Essays
- Select missing words
- Multiple choice questions (one correct option)
- Multiple choice questions (several correct options)
- True/false (can be edited)

Attachments and images can also be embedded in the questions. The text editor additionally allows you to use mathematical expressions in the questions. The exam settings may allow the running of mathematical software on the computer used to sit the exam, including Excel, Matlab and a calculator.
