This process should be followed where the learner is either in a centre with invigilators present, or is taking an open book style exam where no proctoring is required.
In order to take their online exam, the learner will need to login to the XAMS Exam Player. To do this, the AO or centre should provide the learner with the player URL, their User Name, and personal Password.
The learner enters this information and clicks on LOG IN. This takes them to the Welcome page. On this page, the learner is presented with the Exam Conditions which are defined by the AO. When they have confirmed that their details are correct and that they have read and understood all exam conditions, the Next button becomes available for selection.
Once the learner has clicked on Next to continue, they are presented with the Schedules Screen where they are presented with a list of all assessments they are currently scheduled to take. When they click START on the assessment they wish to take, a further layer of exam security comes into play and they are asked for an Assessment Password.
This password is generated when the exam schedule is created and must be provided to the learner by the AO or centre. The assessment password can be found on the login sheet and attendance sheet for the scheduled exam session.
Entering and submitting this password takes the learner to exam the Instructions page displaying information about the exam which is defined by the AO when building the assessment.
The learner clicks START on the top right of the screen, and is then presented with the questions which they can begin to answer.
Question Navigation: The numbers on the left hand side of the screen relate the the questions or tasks that a learner is being asked to complete. The learner can navigate from one question to another either by clicking on these numbers, or by clicking the forward and back arrows against the question number above the question text.
Bookmark a question: The learner can bookmark any question by clicking on the bookmark icon in the right of the question box.
Exam clock: Is displayed in the top right-hand corner of the screen. It counts backwards and will turn amber when there are only 10 minutes left.
Instructions: The learner can click on the Instructions button if they ever want to re-read the exam instructions.
Finish: When the learner has answered all questions and is happy to finish, they click on Finish button.
When the learner clicks on Finish, if there is time left to complete the exam they are asked to confirm this action. They select OK to finish or CANCEL if they want to review their answers. If they have not answered all questions they will be alerted to that.
When the learner has finished, they are presented with the Outro screen displaying a message, defined by the AO, giving instructions on how to CLOSE and LOG OUT.
