OLD e-Exam Trial - Pre-exam practice

Welcome to this voluntary survey which has been approved by the ethics committees of the participating institutions. It should take about 5 minutes.

Be sure to read the 'research study information sheet' [PDF link] then complete this form.

A general information flyer [pdf] is also available, as is a set of FAQs [pdf]

Having tried the e-Exam System with your own laptop computer - we would like to ask your impressions of it.

Your responses are confidential. No individual will be identified in the dissemination of the data.

Your responses are important and will inform future e-Exam design, management and the use of computers for examinations.

Please kindly complete all questions.

With thanks in advance from the research team :-)
