What is the Exam Structure?


Exam structure is the grading frame of the exam: number of questions and the maximum score for each question

Is it possible to check without setting the Exam Structure?


It is possible to check without BUT it is recommended to set the Exam Structure so that you will be able to use the advanced tools, gain automated control, and build an exam grading indicator.


Please note: Once you've graded one notebook without an Exam Structure all other notebooks will have to be checked without it

Where do you set the Exam Structure?


When grading an exam for the first time after clicking the "Start Checking" button the "Exam Structure" setting window will pop-up



It can also be accessed in the "Exam Structure" tab on the main screen.


What are the steps for setting the Exam Structure?

  • Adding questions: Select the number of questions to add and click the "Add Question" button
  • Set a maximum score for the questions: After adding the questions we will type in the maximum score in the score boxes

  • Delete a question: click the trash can button within the question's row

Can exam structure be changed after I've started grading? 


Yes, it is possible, but attention must be paid to the conditions detailed below.

At any stage, you can access  the "Exam Structure" tab on the main screen and modify it.


Conditions:

  • In case there is a discrepancy between the grading already entered for a question and the maximum points we want to set, the system will first require correcting the grade given for the question (if the grade entered for one of the examinees is greater than the new maximum we want to set for the question).
  • Once we have confirmed the completion of checking for one of the exam notebooks, it will only be possible to change the array after reopening it using the "Enable edit mode"
  • An exam that has been published (the "Finish Checking" button pressed on the main screen) is closed for changes.
