Examination Help Service
Inspera Assessment is a cloud-based digital examination platform that supports course exams, assessments, tests and take-home assignments. With its lockdown browser and live proctoring features to uphold exam integrity and safeguard student privacy. Furthermore, double blind grading capabilities and tools to help disabled students unlock their full potential are also provided within this solution.
Students unable to sit their examination at its scheduled time must contact their Director of Studies immediately in order to prevent any issues that could compromise its integrity.
Before sitting an exam, it’s essential that you prepare in advance. Make sure that you have the appropriate software, enough time, and an ideal internet connection. Also ensure your browser works smoothly by updating if necessary and performing a mock assessment prior to sitting the real thing; this allows you to identify any technical issues and address them early on.
Online Practice Tests
As part of an Inspera online exam, answers will automatically save every few seconds and the “Countdown Clock” provides a visual indication of remaining time; responses are also stored locally on your computer.
If you lose internet connectivity during an exam with a typed mode of completion, Inspera submission screen offers an uneditable record of your Exam Script upon test completion – this must happen before its end time and does not constitute late uploading.
Before your exam day begins, be sure to have everything organized for success. This includes making sure your laptop is Inspera-enabled and that all necessary materials (writing materials, books) are accessible. Also read up on Invigilator Guides and Honour Code beforehand in order to avoid any miscommunication on test day, and allow yourself to focus on learning instead of potential misunderstandings on test day.
Invigilators
Maintain original response sheets and student declaration forms for 90 days before shredding them (or otherwise disposing of). Furthermore, monitor students leaving the room in order to collect exam booklets after students leave without leaving with extra copies; any breach in examination regulations must be reported immediately to your department head.
Invigilators are paid monthly in arrears based on the rate specified on their timesheets. This rate takes into account that invigilators may need to stand/walk around tiered venues with stairs for extended periods, travel between examination centres spanning campuses and carry light/medium weight items (such as boxes of exams or stationery).
Invigilators must be familiar with emergency evacuation procedures at their venue. In the event of a fire, they should instruct students to quickly exit with their examination scripts, questions and student identification left on their desks (without touching anything). Once outside they must contact their senior invigilator for further instructions.
Exam Centres
Exam Centers may offer various assistances to help ease your assessment. Please visit their websites or speak to your college’s administration office to gain more knowledge.
As part of an Inspera exam, it is imperative that candidates remain within the exam room during an online or remote test (unless permitted by your exam paper or Disability Access Plan). Communicating outside the room includes engaging in social media chatter during exam time – this guide “Exams: getting help and advice” can also provide help as can following JCQ/Ofqual guidelines.
As your exam won’t be submitted automatically, remember to click “Submit now” at the end of your test time to submit it successfully. Otherwise, your attempt won’t be marked; this information can be found on both Inspera training and your exam instructions. If there are any problems, please read up on ‘Exams – Resolving Issues During Assessments” page before reaching out to an examination centre as soon as possible.
