Exam session overview

The Meazure Exam Platform delivers exams in two formats:

1. Proctored
2. Unproctored

Unproctored exams can be written unsupervised and do not require a session. Proctored exams are monitored by trained proctors that are personally overseeing the security context of the examination. When a user has been granted a proctored exam, it must be scheduled into an exam session.

There are 3 primary types of sessions available. The session type (Public/Online/Paper) cannot be edited after the session is created. Note that the session type cannot be edited after it has been created.

Public/online sessions

• Visible to candidates in the booking portal during its booking window.
• Can be configured as an in-person session if a venue is assigned.
• Can be configured as an online proctoring session if the ‘Remote’ option is chosen.

Private/online sessions

• Only visible to administrators with booking permissions through the Meazure admin portal.
• Candidates are not able to access these booking dates through their booking portal.
• Since administrators are the only ones to access these, cancellation policies, withdraw/transfer deadlines do not have to be configured unless that is your preference.

Paper sessions

• Paper sessions can be private (admins only) or public (candidate facing).
• These sessions will offer the option for administrators with the correct permissions to print a paper copy of the exam directly from the session.
• Paper exams are typically written offline on a bubble sheet.

Which sessions to create

• For remote proctored-only exams, one continuous online session can be created.
• For in-person only exams, a series of in-person sessions must be created for each available exam date/time.
• For hybrid exams (in-person and remote proctored exams), one online session and the appropriate series of in-person sessions must be created.
