What is computer-based testing?
We have also been offering exams on the PC since 2006 through Swiss Exams Digital@Centre and were awarded in 2015 by Cambridge English (Part of the University of Cambridge) for the pioneer role and excellence in offering Cambridge English computer-based exams.
Today, we provide computer-based testing for exams (Cambridge English, IELTS, Linguaskill, TCF) in nine Swiss Exams locations across Switzerland. Do your learners still take their exams on paper? We will be happy to advise and support you in switching to computer examinations.
What's the difference between on-site and remote-proctored exams?
On-site exams = Candidates take their exam in a location and at a time we provide. Therefore, candidates go to a location to take their exam on the computer. They are supervised in a "prepared exam hall". All they need to do is to arrive as requested and write the test on the computer.
Remote-proctored exams = Candidates don't take their exam from a designated place/time but decide themselves where/when they would like to take their test. Candidates are still guided to and through their online assessment step-by-step but they are responsible for their "exam room" being setup as required. We still take care over the administrative side of things from the registration to the result, give clear instructions and guidelines and guarantee full security and data standards.
Why to choose computer-based exams over paper exams
Computer-based exams bring indeed many benefits. Here is why you should choose computer-based exams for your students:
- They will receivefaster access to results-online within 2-3 weeks after taking the exam (which means they get their certificate in 8 weeks)
- The online timer and help functions (i.e. word count) allow your students get the best performance (definitely less stressful for most students not having to go through their text)
- They can edit their answers during the exam and highlight important parts (makes it more practical than having to erase and rewrite etc…)
- They can adjust the volume for the listening part to suit their needs as they use headphones (less distraction, less stress, more focus)
