Exam Testing

What Exam Testing is

Exam Testing is online exam software for building, delivering and monitoring tests in a browser. It is sold by Exam Testing, Inc., a Texas company whose homepage gives a Plano mailing address. The homepage names three groups of users: educators who give regular tests, businesses that want "to help screen potential employees," and students "who wish to improve on their own." The features page widens that to "individuals, educational institutions, business organizations, and candidates alike," and every plan on the pricing page is tagged for test preparation, continuing education, corporate training and higher education. In this directory's terms it is a tool for the school or training team that writes and runs assessments, not a course platform and not a catalog for learners.

The FAQ explains how the company sees its own scope: "Unlike other companies, we don't just offer test generation. Our software includes security features, analyzation tools, and a communication platform on top of the testing." That is a fair map of the product: a test builder, security around the sitting, reporting after it, and email and SMS messages to the people taking it.

Building tests

The test maker covers multiple choice, drag and match, fill in the blank, essay "and more." The FAQ says the interface "does not require a developer's skillset to customize or implement any test," which is the point for a teacher or trainer who wants a quiz online the same afternoon. Question banks do not have to be typed in one at a time. The homepage describes offline authoring in Excel, with question banks and "the lengthy candidate details" uploaded from a spreadsheet, so an existing bank of questions and a class list can both come in at once.

The pricing comparison lists templates for test questions, multiple question formats, and options to print and share an exam, and every plan allows unlimited questions, groups and sections. The features page adds secure backups, so a test that worked well can be recalled and given "again and again," and says the software is iPhone and iPad friendly, so exams can be written away from a desk. Files used in tests sit in the company's cloud storage, with an allowance per plan that is set out with the prices below.

Instructor accounts let the administrator assign access rights by role, and the homepage gives exam managers, data entry operators and content providers as examples. In a school or training department where one person writes questions and another schedules the sitting, that separation keeps each person to their own job.

Students get a study side as well. A tutor mode lets them take practice quizzes and mark questions as flagged, incorrect or unused, and the pricing table lists student self practice exams and student self sign-up. The same question bank can serve revision in the weeks before an exam and the exam itself.

Delivering and securing exams

Once a test is ready, the FAQ says the administrator adds the candidates who will take it and tells them when it will be available. The email system carries most of that work: templates for welcome, exam information and notification emails can be designed in the account, and the FAQ says emails can be set to go out at designated times to remind students when a test has to be taken. SMS works through "any SMS API" the customer connects, sent straight from the account to registered candidates. The pricing table also lists customizable notifications and a personalized URL.

The security features target the common ways of cheating at a home computer. The homepage says the platform prevents cheating "by eliminating the opportunity to print screen or copy and paste while logged into an assessment." The FAQ adds that the administrator is "notified immediately by email whenever somebody attempts to copy and paste or screenshot the test," and that the software stops anyone from logging into multiple accounts at once. The pricing table lists trusted IP addresses, student activity tracking and email alerts alongside those controls.

Exam Monitor is the live view of a sitting. The homepage says it shows "which students have completed exams, are currently testing," with "information about devices, IP addresses, operating systems, and more." The public demo of the monitor lists each attempt with its time, location, IP address, exam name, status (completed, taking or dropped) and score, and keeps a running count of attempts, people still taking the test, finishes and drop-outs, with date filters on top. For an invigilator watching a remote exam, that is a quick way to see who has stalled or disappeared.

Reporting and certificates

After the test, reports show exams as completed or pending "by date time, score, groups and names," and the homepage says administrators can see completion time and scores and investigate trends across students or quizzes. Data exports to formats "such as Excel documents," and the export shows which students are answering which questions incorrectly, the detail a teacher needs to find the topic a class missed. The pricing table lists student progress reports and comprehensive data analysis as well.

Certificates are designed inside the platform, customized with logos, fonts and signatures. White labeling removes Exam Testing's branding from the quiz portal, so a school or business can run assessments under its own name. The feature list also names API integration and a Sell Exam option.

Plans and prices

Exam Testing publishes its prices in two currencies. The dollar plans are three:

• Free Plan: $0 for 14 days, no credit card required, with 1 student, 1 exam and 1 admin account, and 100 MB of file storage.
• Professional: $25 a month in the plan comparison table, for 500 students, 100 exams a month and 10 admin accounts, with 500 MB of storage.
• Enterprise: $90 a month in the comparison table, with unlimited students, exams and admin accounts, and 3000 MB of storage.

The page has a toggle between monthly billing and a one-year term marked "Save 30%," and a second view of the same plans shows Professional at $21 and Enterprise at $83 a month. Every dollar plan allows unlimited questions, examinees, groups and sections.

The rupee plans are built differently: all three allow unlimited students and admin accounts and are limited by the number of exams instead. For Small Institutions costs ₹1500 a month with 1000 exams and 300 MB of storage, For Growing Institutes ₹3000 a month with 2500 exams and 500 MB, and For Big Institutes ₹5000 a month with 5000 exams and 10000 MB. The comparison table prints ₹18000, ₹36000 and ₹60000 against those three plans.

On payment, the FAQ says most clients pay by a credit card that is charged automatically when payments fall due, and that a customer without a card, or one who prefers to pay by check, can email or call the company. A subscription can be canceled at any time from "My Account" with the "Please cancel my account" option. The FAQ calls the 14-day free plan a free trial, and that is how to read it: a way to try the product, not a plan to run classes on.

The homepage puts its scale at "164872+" tests created, "120+" countries and "22524240+" questions uploaded.

Support and languages

The FAQ says the support team "is available 24/7 over email or over the phone during business hours," and the dollar comparison table lists email tech support. The software uses Unicode, so "any language supported by Unicode can be used" in a test, and the FAQ describes the support team as multilingual. A school that sets exams in a language other than English can write them directly, without a translation layer.

Who it suits

Exam Testing suits schools, colleges, test preparation and continuing education providers, and corporate training teams that give tests to known groups of people and want to watch the sitting as it happens. The live monitor, the copy and screenshot alerts and the single-login rule are what set it apart from a simple form builder, and the Excel upload makes it practical to move an existing question bank across. Businesses screening applicants are a named audience too, and the demo monitor is filled with hiring-style tests such as a Java programmer exam and a sales professional exam.

Plan choice follows the size of the group. A teacher or small team can test the product on the free plan, though one student and 14 days make it a trial. Professional covers a class, a small school or a company department of up to 500 students. Enterprise removes the student and exam limits. The rupee plans suit an institution with many students and a predictable number of exams.

It is a narrower product than a learning management system. The pages describe testing, messaging, reporting and certificates, not courses or lessons, so an organization that wants teaching content and assessments in one place will pair it with a separate course platform.
