Test Nation Technology

Our unique patent patenting assessment process has been developed to ensure a consistently reliable and fair assessment environment. Listed below are a few key points:

• The client software performs most of the data processing. This keeps network data and server workload to a minimum, making it ideal for high volume assessment.
• All test data is compressed and powerfully encrypted.
• All test data and multimedia (except streaming media) is downloaded before a test begins to ensure a fair and problem free test.
• Tests can be downloaded up to 30 minutes before an assessment commences (if availability options have been set).
• The system time is synchronised with the server's clock at all stages of assessment.
• The system can be accessed using a web browser (with Shockwave plug-in) or a standard alone Windows program.
• In case of interruption (e.g. a power cut) an automated test recovery system allows uses to continue tests. Administrators can later see which candidates have been interrupted.

Test Nation can be used over the Internet using our servers or installed onto your own server:

• Internet Services
• Test Nation Server
