Clients Turn to ExamSoft's Secure Examination Software in Record Setting Numbers

Clients adopt ExamSoft to protect exam integrity, enable flexible exam delivery options, and access and manage rich exam-related data

Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) August 31, 2011

ExamSoft Worldwide, Inc., the market leader in flexible, high-stakes computer-based testing solutions, today announced it achieved record new client growth over the past year. The company delivered twice the numbers of exams compared to the previous year, and it is serving more clients than at any point in its thirteen year history. Flexible, secure exam delivery on user-owned laptops or in testing centers, instant access to robust question banking and data analysis systems, and control over the entire testing process are a few of the primary reasons clients have chosen ExamSoft.

The University of Georgia College of Pharmacy and the Board of Environmental, Health & Safety Auditor Certifications (BEAC) are but a couple of the many clients that have recently turned to ExamSoft to deliver a secure solution to address their computer-based testing needs. They share several requirements, including security, reliability, and data management capability, but they have unique challenges which highlight the flexibility and range of benefits offered by the ExamSoft system.

“Our pharmacy program supports students on multiple campuses, and the ability to test the students at the same time, regardless of their location, was a core requirement when choosing a computer-based testing solution,” said Dr. Ken Duke, Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Georgia College of Pharmacy. “In addition, we will be using ExamSoft's unlimited question “tagging” feature to categorize questions, providing us valuable data. This data will help our team improve student remediation, make curriculum adjustment as needed, and simplify accreditation documentation.“

Many higher education schools, like the University of Georgia, have used the ExamSoft suite of software to measure their students' performance at an individual and class level, by specific subject or competency area, and to definitively impact student learning outcomes. In addition, the data provided can be used to help gauge how well a program's curriculum is preparing students for the specific components of their exams, which enables them to deploy remediation programs that ultimately help impact exam scores. Finally, programs are able to use aggregated data to generate reports, which measure whether they are meeting their learning objectives. These reports provide valuable data needed to simplify documentation for accreditation compliance. Read more about UGA's computer-based testing program in a recent article published by the college.

Clients like the University of Georgia and BEAC use ExamSoft's collaborative question banking solution, which provides tremendous exam creation functionality with an easy user interface. The ability to “tag” questions with a virtually unlimited number of categories enables administrators to create exams based on particular attributes of questions, such as subject type, competency, and previous question performance. All data is accessible, in real-time, with client-set levels of user access rights.

“The ability to offer our exams at different locations, including in proctored testing centers, provides the flexibility we need to reach our applicants across the nation,” said Wendy K. Acha, Administration Manager at BEAC. BEAC utilizes ExamSoft's hybrid online/offline delivery model, which enables clients to deploy exams, securely, in virtually any facility type, whether internet enabled or not. ExamSoft does not require or enable internet access at exam time, and it can secure any computer, including user-owned laptops. With this capability, ExamSoft supports testing at over 230 state-of-the-art testing centers, classrooms, conferences, offices, hotels, bank branches, and hospitals.

Unlike most software companies, ExamSoft is focused on delivering a solution that includes personal support for both clients and their exam takers, to maximize client comfort and drive success. According to Acha, “ExamSoft's customer service and support are fantastic, and their online training videos and support material are a great help.” The company invests heavily in its support infrastructure because it views it as a key differentiator in the industry.

“Customers choose ExamSoft for a variety of reasons, but at the core, they are all looking to advance their programs while maintaining full control of their testing process,” said David Schnabel, President of ExamSoft Worldwide, Inc. “Whether they are looking to control their question and exam data, delivery method, or when and where they test, our solution puts control firmly into the hands of our clients, because we don't impose artificial constraints on their choices. I am very excited about the growth we have seen this year, and we intend to invest even more heavily next year to satisfy our clients' emerging needs and continue our record-setting growth.”
