Computer-based exams

How to get your results

Computer-based exams, QM Perception

There are two ways of seeing your results. The results checker and the results reporter. One is more detailed than the other and they both have their uses.

The Results checker works as an ‘at a glance’ look at the results. It’s a non-granular look at how well the cohort has done and can be used immediately after the exam has finished.

The Results Exporter is the more information heavy of the two, using this will allow you to see an individual students answers to the questions by means of a downloadable report. This report will not be available until the day after the exam has taken place.

What is expected of you as part of the scheduling process

AER exams, Computer-based exams, QM Perception

After you have made a request to schedule your exam, you will see up to two additional emails from us explaining what we have done and what you need to do to ensure that your exam goes ahead accurately and efficiently.

We test your exam against our best practice recommendations, the results of which you will see in a future email, but only you can verify that the content in the exam is correct.

Once we have created the exam on OnDemand you will receive a link to it. This is for you to test the exam. We expect you to get 100% of the questions correct. If you do not achieve a score of 100% let us know and we can tell you which questions you got wrong and we can work together to rectify any issues.

Questions that require essay style answers should always be worth zero so you can mark them, unless, you you would like to use OnDemand’s “on screen marking”. See Why iSolutions does not recommend using OnDemand for essay questions.

Word with ExamStart versus QM OnDemand

Computer-based exams, QM Perception

Over the past few semesters of using OnDemand we have decided that using it for essay questions has certain issues and has accessibility restraints for students.

The OnDemand word processor has no formatting options, cut and paste is not available and students with accessibility needs are not catered for.

Word has a more robust workflow, from opening the app, to back ups during the exam to final delivery of the work. It is a tried and tested work flow that we have honed over several years.
