About Santa Laurensia High School

Santa Laurensia High School is a progressive Roman Catholic institution located in Tangerang, Indonesia. Established in 1994, the school offers a bilingual education with subjects taught in both English and Bahasa Indonesia. Theja Kurniawan is the principal of the Alam Sutera campus, which serves 1,600 students and has 52 teachers. Together with Vice Principal Yulian Candra, he supports their teachers in administering daily, monthly, and final exams—all conducted on Exam.net across all subjects.

Challenges

Before adopting Exam.net in 2020, Santa Laurensia High School faced several challenges with its assessment process.

Theja Kurniawan faced issues with exam integrity, as students found ways to cheat during tests. Traditional exam methods made it difficult to monitor student activity, increasing the risk of dishonest practices. Ensuring a fair testing environment was a priority, requiring a more secure and structured approach to prevent cheating.

“We wanted to strengthen exam integrity by ensuring students couldn’t cheat or access for example Google during tests. Without the right tools, there are countless ways for students to bypass restrictions.”

Traditional paper-based exams were also time-consuming, often requiring up to three weeks for preparation, including printing, distribution and management. Handling and grading large numbers of physical papers was inefficient. Teachers struggled to provide timely, constructive feedback. Reducing paper usage and streamlining the exam process were key priorities.

Online tests are now conducted with ease and the auto-marking features provide instant feedback, helping students identify areas for improvement. Built-in tools such as calculators, programming features, and audio files cater to the diverse needs of various subjects, ensuring that students receive a comprehensive learning experience.

“The IT teachers love the programming features because they can run the program next to the questions. And our social science teachers think Exam.net is great because students now type their answers, allowing teachers to read proper writing instead of spending time interpreting messy handwritten papers.”

Maintaining academic integrity is a top priority at Santa Laurensia. By using Exam.net for secure online tests, the school ensures a reliable exam environment.
