What is inside
- How to assess infrastructure, devices, network capacity, and secure exam environments before going digital.
- What to check across exam software, integrations, security controls, question banks, and faculty usability.
- How faculty training, student preparation, accessibility, privacy, and regulatory requirements affect readiness.
- Why pilot exams, contingency planning, live support, grading, analytics, and reporting matter beyond exam-day technology.
- The tenth question most readiness checklists miss: where exam results go next and whether they connect to outcomes and accreditation evidence.
Who it is for
QA & Accreditation
This is not an exam-day technology checklist alone. It helps institutions test readiness across infrastructure, software, people, compliance, analytics, support, and the often-missed question of what happens to results afterward as evidence.
Before you download
Is this checklist free?
Yes. It is free to download. We ask for a work email so we can send the file and, if you opt in, related research. There is no paywall or sales call attached to the download.
Who is it written for?
It is written for examination, academic, assessment, IT, and quality teams responsible for making digital exams secure, workable for students and faculty, and connected to the academic processes that depend on the results.
Is this only about whether our technology can handle exam day?
No. Technology is only one part of the checklist. It also covers question banks, faculty and student readiness, accessibility, compliance, pilot testing, support, analytics, contingency planning, and what happens to exam results after the assessment is complete.
