Trusted by professional organisations, awarding bodies, and universities worldwide
Design & management
Assemble each assessment exactly how you want, then manage every candidate and every attempt with total control.
Static or dynamic exams, sections, granular timers and configurable candidate tools.
Schedule, extend, lock, revoke, submit and adjust attempts on the fly.
Automatic access arrangements, and a frozen point-in-time snapshot of every attempt.
Assessment design
Build one fixed paper for everyone, or generate a unique exam per candidate from your question banks.
Generate an exam from a single question set so every candidate receives the exact same paper — ideal when consistency and comparability matter most.
Generate a different paper for each candidate from your question banks. Build rules that combine with AND/OR logic, weight each pool, and filter by tag, topic or difficulty — so every exam is fair and comparable, but far harder to copy.
Structure & timing
Split an exam into sections with their own instructions, timers and grading. Order or randomise sections, and apply rules like dropping the lowest-scoring question.
Integrity by design
When an attempt is generated, the questions and settings are copied and locked to that candidate. Their paper stays exactly as they sat it — even if you edit the source exam afterwards.
Publish versioned exams and track changes over time. Every attempt records the exact version used, so you always know which paper each candidate took.
Membership Final
Frozen at generation — unchanged by later edits to the source exam.
Candidate tools
Give candidates the right tools for the task — and only those. Toggle each one on or off per exam.
Candidate Tools
Question 4 of 20
A patient presents with a serum sodium of 128 mmol/L. Which is the most appropriate initial step?
Notepad
Rules of the room
Present custom instructions before the exam — with optional timed or audio guidance — then require candidates to accept a declaration before they start.
Add a branded instructions screen with text, media or audio, and an optional timer before the exam opens.
Require a declaration or consent to proceed — a tick-box, a static acknowledgement, or having the candidate type their own name.
Scheduling
Set a shared open and close window on the same day so every candidate starts within the same timeframe, with an allowance for late starts and technical hiccups.
Exam-day control
Email exam details, rules and a unique link to every candidate in advance, or hand out links manually. Each link is unique to the candidate for added security.
Exam-day control
Plans change on the day. Adjust any candidate or attempt in real time — no support ticket required.
Security & access
Restrict access to approved IP ranges — ideal for test centres.
Require a passcode (or invigilator code) before an exam opens.
Choose whether candidates can resume, and only in the same session.
Disable copying, pasting and right-click during the exam.
Results
Show results instantly, defer them until you are ready, or schedule an automatic release — with a holding message shown to candidates in the meantime.
Proctoring & lockdown
Turn on proctoring and lockdown per exam, from no-install browser delivery to full desktop lockdown with automated breach detection and post-exam review.
Automation
Automate exam delivery and reduce admin using Synap's Zapier integration or APIs to streamline invites end to end.
