Schedule times and rooms simultaneously, quickly and efficiently.

By considering space availability while choosing the time for the exam, you are assured of a quality assignment.

Exam “move screen” to visually display time selection quality

Customizable scheduling constraint settings

Set preferences and limits for exams per day, and consecutive exams for both students and instructors.

Live validations on data entry and manual scheduling

As data is entered and saved, quick validations report the impact on students, instructors and rooms, warning the user if preferences or limits are being exceeded.

Configurable room file

Configurable room file, including seat maps and virtual rooms

Create or import a room file that reflects the needs of an exam schedule, adjust the configuration and capacity to fit.

Create seat maps in large rooms and divide your large testing facilities into sub-rooms as needed.

Exam slot weighting within the exam period

Control the distribution throughout the exam period to either spread out exams or condense the schedule.

Sequencing of exams

Create relationships between exams to guide the scheduling so that exams fall on the same day or consecutively as needed.

Analytical and statistical reporting

Analytical and statistical reporting on schedule data and quality of results

In addition to the expected validation reports, also measure the quality of the schedule as well as relevant statistics.

Show the impact of policy/guideline changes on exam schedules and report to upper management.

Ensure close proximity for multi-room exams

If there are large exams and no large testing facilities, accommodate those large exams by scheduling them in multiple rooms that are near each other.

Support for time-based or slot-based exam period definitions

INFOSILEM Exam supports the traditional examination period slots and additionally can be adapted to use a more free-form, time-based approach in which exams do not follow set scheduled times.
