Exam Preparation Tips for Institutions Before the Online Exam

 

Educational institutions such as colleges, universities, schools, and coaching classes are also new to the concept of online exams or have no idea how to conduct online exams. For this reason, it is necessary that they have a better understanding of what they are expected to do before the exam to ensure its smooth execution.

The following are some of the online exam activities that every institution is required to carry out prior to the exam day:

 	
Registration of students
 	
Designing question papers
 	
Testing online examination software
 	
Setting up a remote proctoring system

Following these guidelines will enable them to conduct online exams with no hiccups or mismanagement.
Exam Preparation Tips for Students on Exam Day
It’s D-Day! Exam day has finally arrived. You might be both excited and nervous at the same time. But there is nothing to be worried about. All you have to do is stay calm and follow the online exam preparation tips listed below.
4. Set up an Exam Zone
On exam day, the first thing you should do is set up a zone from where you will take the exam. You may prefer the same ‘study zone’ you were using for preparation because you may have developed comfortability with that space over time.

However, ensure that the space has good internet connectivity, is free of distractions, and is comfortable for long sitting hours.

The space should not be your living room because it is likely that your family members may pass through that space often. For this reason, always select an exam zone that is isolated, distraction-free, convenient, and comfortable.
5. Double-check your Computer System
After you’ve finalized and set up your exam zone, the next step is to double-check your computer system. Confirm that everything is working properly and that there are no problems with any software or hardware you will use during the exam. It could be a keyboard, mouse, camera, or whatever.

At the same time, check your internet connection as well. If your internet connection is unstable, we recommend that you relocate to a spot that has a reliable internet connection, at least on the exam day. Because ‘Unable to connect to the internet’ would be the last notification you expect during the exam!
6. A Quick and Smart Revision
Once you are done with setting up the exam zone and system checking, get back to the study. Revise all important topics, questions, and chapters. But, do not try to cover the entire syllabus because it would be impossible to do so in a few hours. You should also review the notes, mock papers, and previous papers.

Also, do not spend time on a topic you find difficult to understand. Since you will only have a few hours to cover most of the syllabus, investing time in difficult topics is not advised at all. Instead, during revision, concentrate on only the topics or questions that you understand well and that are likely to come up on the exam paper.
