Platform

Concurrent exams (concurrency)

The number of candidates sitting exams at the same moment — a key measure of a platform's scale.

What is concurrency?

Concurrency is the number of candidates taking an exam at the same moment. It's one of the truest tests of an assessment platform, because exam day is rarely spread out — thousands of candidates often start within the same few minutes.

A platform that copes with high concurrency stays fast and available at that peak, without slowing down or dropping candidates mid-exam. It takes infrastructure built for the spike, not the average. Synap is built for large-scale, high-concurrency delivery with thousands of simultaneous starts.
