Examination Help Service
Top Hat is the classroom response system at UB that allows instructors to electronically administer quizzes, midterm exams and final exams on students’ personal devices and generate auto-graded results instantly after assessments are taken.
Increase engagement and assess student understanding with polls, discussions, and interactive content. Build tailored learning experiences using personalized homework systems, customizable authored textbooks from OpenStax publishers, and interwoven assessments.
Students may take Top Hat tests using any internet-enabled device, including smartphones. Before beginning, however, they must ensure their mobile device meets all minimum requirements listed in the Examination Announcement document.
Instructors may wish to consider creating isomorphic questions in an exam pool (for instructions in Brightspace) and shuffling answers of multiple choice (MC) questions as these features reduce student collaboration. Unfortunately, this still doesn’t prevent students from using external devices or the internet to cheat during an exam – but instructors can still use tools within Brightspace and Top Hat to stop students accessing other websites on their device during an examination period.
Examination Preparation
Preparing for exams requires students to devote ample time reviewing pertinent material and revising, taking notes, creating flashcards, and drawing mind maps. Exam-prep courses and Study Guides may also prove invaluable in providing insight into what topics will be included on an exam and providing assistance during study time.
Professors may give students clues as to what the exam entails, such as its number or format. Some professors will make this information readily available prior to sitting for their exam; otherwise they should feel free to ask any questions during class, afterward or during office hours should any details remain unclear.
Exam preparation may not be glamorous, but it’s essential for success in college. By developing effective study habits and developing stress management techniques, your chances of passing exams may increase significantly.
Examination Tutors
Tutors assist students in understanding exam material and developing test-taking strategies. Additionally, tutors offer one-on-one instruction, helping improve both performance and confidence for tests or classes.

Examination Coaching
Competitive exam coaching classes provide invaluable services that help students prepare for Competitive Exams by identifying their strengths and weaknesses and giving practice tests that simulate exam conditions.

Top Hat is an interactive student response system that enables instructors to poll students and pose discussion prompts easily and on all internet-connected laptops, desktops and tablets; supporting Android, iOS apps as well as SMS response (texting). Top Hat integrates seamlessly with Canvas for one-click roster/gradebook syncronization.
Top Hat can help students prepare for competitive exams more effectively. To use it effectively, however, they must only do so if their instructor has enabled it for their course and not manually enroll via join code or direct URL.
