Exam.net meets the SQA requirements
Aligned with the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA), Exam.net meets the security and data protection standards required for digital exams in Scotland. Prior to implementing Exam.net, each school or local authority is required to conduct a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA). Our team is here to support you throughout this process—please don’t hesitate to reach out for assistance.
Glasgow City Council
Glasgow City Council has successfully completed the DPIA concerning Exam.net and approved the app deployment to all 1:2:1 devices. “Our plan is that schools will use the application for prelims in January.” Says Chris Mier, Digital Development Officer, Glasgow City Council.
Reduce exam-morning stress
The simplicity of Exam.net enables staff to quickly upload digital SQA papers prior to an exam, add accommodations for students on an individual level, set different time limits, and print out the students work complete with the required information – allowing for anonymisation when required. SQA exam officers will find that invigilation schedules are also simplified.
Works on all devices
Exam.net is a reliable cloud-based exam platform that works with the most common devices in Scottish schools, including iPads, Chromebooks, Windows PCs and Macbooks. Whether you’re in a state-funded or independent school, our platform fits seamlessly into your existing ICT setup, making it easy to implement and manage online exams. Additionally, Exam.net integrates smoothly with LMS platforms like Microsoft Teams and Google Classroom.
Exam.net has proven to be simple to use. We have received very few questions, as teachers and students have easily figured out how to use the platform on their own, boosting their confidence.
Maths.exam.net is a separate platform with an extensive Question Library tailored to 4 different SQA courses. Quizzes, exit tickets and longer tests are quickly created using our ready-made material. If run digitally, the assessment takes place on Exam.net, with all the usual support tools, as well as auto-marking.
Prepared for future digital exams
Exam.net is a top choice for digital exams in Scotland and in line with SQA requirements, whilst providing an equal opportunity for all students to succeed.
