What is the best way to use EduBrite communities?

The best use of EduBrite communities is to treat it as a supplement to your school, coachings, text books and teachers. Students should try to practice test taking skills by taking tests again and again. The more practice you have better prepared you will be on the exam day. You should also try to take short Pop Quizzes as they contain randomly selected questions, which is a good way to practice and challenge your knowledge. And from time to time you should keep an eye on the Top Scores for particular tests and track your rankings and progress.

How can I control sharing options?

If you edit your profile, you can set the sharing options for visibility of your profile, tests, notes, friends and favorites. The options allow you to share selected items with other members of the site.

How is taking test different from taking Pop Quiz?

The main difference is - tests are Pre created by the person who contributed it. The test always show same set of questions. All site users can take any test. But Pop Quiz is generated when you ask for it, and only you can take that particular generated pop quiz. You can specify the question selections criteria, number of questions. markings and duration. E.g. if you want to take a pop quiz for AIEEE, you can generate a Pop Quiz by specifying 20 questions from Maths and Physics from the AIEEE exam.

Another difference between taking Test and Pop Quiz is that you can pause and resume the Test any number of times, but you cannot pause a Pop Quiz. Although you can take a generated Pop Quiz any number of times.

How are the marks calculated?

Each test can have different marking methods. Generally tests have 3 marks for the correct answer and -1 for the incorrect, if it has negative marking. E.g. Tests on this site have multiple choice questions, and for correct selection of choice you get full marks for that question (usually 3) and for any incorrect selection of choice (even if you have correct choice also selected) 1 mark will be deducted.

How can I access my previously taken tests?

All the tests you take are accessible to you on the Test History page. You can keep them as long as you wish, or delete them.

Will others see the test I take?

It depends on your sharing preference, if you have test sharing turned ON in your profile (default is ON), then all tests you take which you have marked as shared will be visible to others.

It would help you to conduct an examination accurately, across a wide geographic region and declare the result on time in an effective manner

Data is hosted in a secure 24x7 video monitored data center and delivered to students while taking an exam in a secure flash based widget

What test formats are supported? We have objective, subjective and matching test patterns. Can we still use CBT?

Yes absolutely. We offer multiple test formats including objective, subjective, matching test patterns and more

Do the candidates for an exam need to be geographically located at the same place or can they take an exam from any place simultaneously?

As long as a candidate has an access to a PC with internet connection, he can take an exam from any geographic location. There is no need for the candidate to come to the customer's physical premise

Who provides proctoring for an exam?

Customer would have to choose the proctoring agency in case that is required. Otherwise an un-proctored exam can always be conducted

Can we use the product to conduct our college/universities entrance examination?
