TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION
exam online: "e ease of taking the exam at
home was a big plus, and with the Covid-19
issues it was a safe place to take the exam."
Easy and Expedient:
Nothing to Fear
ICML certainly wants the process to be
easy, not burdensome. KNV "Subbu" Subrah-
manyam, Technical Head at Singlepeak Lube
Technologies, assures us we were successful.
As Subbu recounts his recent MLT II
exam: "I appreciate Examity's efforts for
making such a smooth process of taking the
online exam. is was my first online exam
and I was a little nervous of how it works, but
logging into the portal and Examity taking
the full control of my computer made me so
confident…taking an exam with a proper
proctor monitoring me."
is was also Mathura's first online exam.
"I had a really good experience," she writes.
"e process was very efficient and there were
no hiccups along the way." And then, on test
day, she continues: "I was a bit skeptical of
letting a stranger look over me for four hours,
because not being able to see the proctor was
a bit weird at first. But when the exam ques-
tions hit, it really didn't matter as much. e
actual format of the exam made the experi-
ence really interesting. e four hours felt like
an hour, and I was amazed that it had passed
so quickly."
It was important to us at ICML that our
online exams mimic our paper exam function-
ality as closely as possible. We worked with
Caveon to ensure that test-takers could write
and submit comments, return to unfinished
questions, review answers, and even use a
calculator (in the online "Tools" section).
Mathura continues: "I loved the ability to
navigate to other questions and flag questions
that I wasn't sure about. Even the availability
of Tools in the virtual room was very helpful.
Figure 1: Examity's one-click computer assessment tool makes it easy to confirm system
readiness in advance of the online exam.
