Build Exams with Confidence

Easily build secure, high-quality exams with a streamlined process that ensures validity, fairness, and confidence in every launch.

Launch Your Exam with a Simple 8-Step Process in a Fast, Easy, and Hassle-Free way

Clearly establish what the test will measure, why it is important, and who the intended test-taker population is. This foundational understanding sets a clear direction for the entire development process. Conduct a Job Task Analysis (JTA) to identify the key tasks, skills, and knowledge areas that the test must address. JTA ensures that exam content remains job-relevant and competency-focused.

Translate the results of the JTA into a detailed blueprint. Define domains, content weightings, and item distributions to guide item development and ensure objective, balanced assessments. The blueprint provides a visual framework of content distribution, while the specification also outlines statistical requirements, helping to avoid common development pitfalls.

Design the test by closely following the blueprint and specification, ensuring that the test aligns with the established goals. Evaluate the item pool to ensure it meets quality standards necessary to support the test. Standard setting activities can also be initiated at this stage.

Using test specification and design structure, assemble test forms following predefined rules. Ensure balanced content coverage and the correct statistical distribution to maintain fairness and validity.

  • Multi-form Simulation: Conduct large-scale simulations of multiple test forms under operational conditions to ensure consistency, reliability, and early detection of content or performance issues.
  • Secure Environment Testing: Perform full walkthroughs in a secure, emulated environment to verify usability, rule enforcement, and system functionality under near-live conditions.

Following the review, test forms either receive approval or are revised based on structured feedback. Approval confirms that the test meets all quality, content, and statistical requirements.

If the test is new, conduct a pilot test to gather real-world performance data. For established tests, finalize and securely publish the exam with version control, scheduled releases, and strict access restrictions to maintain content integrity from preview to launch.

After administration, conduct comprehensive data analysis and validation. Use the results to refine future test forms and ensure continuous improvement in quality, reliability, and fairness.

Define the Test

Assemble and Validate

Design, review, and validate exams through rule-based assembly, simulation, and emulation to ensure quality, consistency, and readiness.

Exam creation

Assemble exams with rule-based engines that enforce blueprint compliance, balance item difficulty, and support randomization or fixed-form delivery.

Pool Review

Audit your item pool for coverage, depth, and performance. Identify gaps, flag overexposed content, and maintain readiness for future exam forms.

Simulation

Preview the candidate experience and exam behavior in real-time. Validate logic, sequencing, and scoring rules before launch.

Bulk Simulation

Test multiple forms under simulated conditions to ensure reliability and consistency at scale. Identify performance or content issues early across variants.

Emulate

Run full walkthroughs in a secure emulation environment. Verify usability, rule enforcement, and interface functionality in near-live conditions.

Prepare for Delivery

Practice Test Development

Build non-scored practice exams that mirror the live test environment. Give candidates an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the format and tools, increasing confidence and readiness.

Test Publication

Securely publish exams with version control, scheduled releases, and access restrictions. Maintain content integrity from preview to live launch.

    Prepare for Delivery

    Structure the Test-Taker Journey

    Pre Test Survey

    Collect candidate background data before the exam. Capture insights into preparation habits, learning paths, and baseline expectations.

    Introduction

    Present clear, concise instructions and contextual information. Help candidates understand the test structure and reduce uncertainty.

    Demographics

    Gather non-identifiable demographic data to support compliance, equity studies, and psychometric analysis.

    Rules

    Establish expectations upfront. Outline behavioral, ethical, and procedural requirements to ensure a fair testing environment.

    Test Rules

    Configure timing, attempt limits, and scoring logic. Enforce policy through built-in parameters.

    Navigation Rules

    Control movement through the exam sections, prevent backtracking, or allow flexible flow based on design.

    Widget Rules

    Enable or restrict tools like calculators, references, and note pads. Tailor the experience to match content and testing standards.

    Collect Feedback and Insights

    Post Test Survey

    Gain immediate feedback on the candidate experience. Assess usability, fairness, and technical performance to support ongoing improvements.

    Reports

    Access real-time performance analytics, item statistics, and candidate data. Visualize outcomes and export insights to support psychometric review and decision-making.

      Collect Feedback and Insights

      Secure the Assessment

      Honey pot

      Embed hidden validation items that detect unusual behavior without impacting scores. These questions help flag test-taker misconduct discreetly.

      Data Forensics

      Protect exam integrity with advanced data monitoring. Together, these tools prevent item leakage and enforce content security throughout the exam lifecycle.

      • Crawler continuously scans public platforms for exposed or shared content.
      • Scrapper detects copied material across forums and websites.
