3Running an e-test session
There are procedures for running and invigilating an e-test session which are provided by the awarding body
Final checks relating to e-test location, equipment and materials should be carried out before an e-test takes place according to the awarding body instructions and requirements. Centres should ensure that they have all candidates registered and appropriate log-ins are correctly obtained from either the awarding body or test distributor. At least one invigilator should be present in the room or be able to monitor all the candidates throughout the e-test session (the subject teacher cannot be the sole invigilator).
Note: In certain instances awarding bodies may set requirements for a specific ratio of candidates to invigilator.
Candidate support needs to be available regardless of where the e-test session is being held, and suitable arrangements and processes should be determined for remote locations.
Additional support information is available in the published “e-Assessment – Guide to effective practice”, see section 3.5. A number of checklists are also available.
