Optimum Assesment Platform: The ultimate assessment experience.
In recent times, conducting tests has changed dramatically. Due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was no longer possible to meet in large groups which had a major impact on testing and examination.

Read more about the 7 basics of digital testing and how to prepare your organisation for digital testing anytime, anywhere!
If you choose for digitization, think carefully about how to how you are going to implement it. Of course an investment is required, but it is perfectly possible to opt for a phased approach. Choose, for example, for the digitizing of version exams in the first instance (this requires a minimum investment in question banks) and take them at fixed times. It is perfectly possible to start small and introduce digital testing in phases.
If you have already taken some steps or if you would prefer a complete transition to digital testing, download our checklist so that you do not forget anything.
Look for software that has all the elements that are important for testing in your organisation. There is a lot on offer and certain parts of the testing process in your organisation may already have been automated. In that case, choose separate ‘supplementary’ modules in order to provide digital support for the entire process.
Note: Online learning is not enough.
Learning Management Systems (LMS) are widely used to facilitate distance learning. Recognising and valuing or certifying the knowledge gained, however, is a different story. This requires specific end-to-end testing software that covers the entire testing process and is scalable and stable at the same time. Moreover, you want to be able to run underlying analyses and have blind faith in the security of the system. Despite the fact that an LMS often offers the possibility of (formative) testing, a summative test imposes additional requirements.

When it comes to testing in general, but specifically when it comes to online proctoring, privacy plays an important role. Make sure there are no surprises in this respect and prepare everything thoroughly. Be transparent and observe the GDPR guidelines
As long as candidates can somehow benefit from fraud, it will remain an issue. Despite the rapid emergence of ever stricter security techniques, it pays to think about how to prevent exam fraud and how to act when fraud occurs.
