3 Exam control allows tutors to intervene in the examination process actively: For example, they can start and finish the exam simultaneously for selected examinees or, in the event of an unexpected PC failure, continue the exam or increase the individual processing time.
4 To ensure the security of the exam if an exam PC fails, the current processing status, processing position, as well as processing and display sequence are saved after each user interaction. With permission of the exam tutor, the examinee can thus continue their examination on another configured PC exactly where they left off.
