By enabling this option the users will not be able to cut, copy, save or print anything from the screen during the test-taking process. Also, the web browser will be in the full-screen mode, and if the users try to minimize it, the test attempt will be terminated. It disables candidates from switching screens, tabs, right-clicking, or making screenshots.

By enabling this option you will prevent students from copying the entire answer sheet / multiple-choice tests are, without a doubt, the easiest to cheat on.

How to create a testing session with a direct access link

This article explains how to provide candidates with easy and immediate test access by enabling the self-enrollment option and generating a direct link to the testing session.

When you create this session, the link that will appear you can place on your website or send it by email. That link provides direct access to the test.

Pulling reports

The reporting module provides over 40 types of predefined reports on users and tests and an indefinite number of custom-tailored reports generated using our Report Builder and advanced search options.

In the “Report Builder” tab you can:

  1. Load the report columns’ settings from a saved report template.
  2. Create a new custom report by checking the options from the list. Each selected option will be featured as a column in the report table.

 

Advanced search

The advanced search allows you to build structured queries. The simple filter displays the results according to the chosen column, criteria, and value. The group filter represents the conjunction (AND) or disjunction (OR) of more filters. Negation can be applied to any filter.
