Exam Planning and Review
With exams now approaching, help to ease your students’ exam anxiety (and yours, too!) with three easy steps:

1. Create a practice test in the same format as the high-stakes exam, so your students can have a practice/trial run to know what to expect.

2. Test drive the exam with your preview user account. See video tutorial here.

3. Submit an exam review request and our eLearning Office staff will have a look at your exam to see if your configuration is working the way you had intended. Request your exam review here.
