Get started

What it is

StudyPat's CBT software is a computer-based testing program that installs on a computer in your school - a server, or any reasonably capable PC - and lets students sit objective exams on networked computers in your exam hall, with no internet connection required during the exam itself.

It isn't a separate account or a separate login for your school: it plugs directly into the StudyPat account you already have. Your class lists, subjects and student records come from StudyPat, and the objective scores it produces go straight back into the same broadsheet your teachers already use for report cards - summed automatically alongside any handwritten theory scores a teacher enters.

What you download

One installer for the StudyPat CBT software, installed on a single computer in your school (a proper server if you have one, or any capable desktop for a smaller exam hall). That computer becomes the exam server for the room - the other computers or devices students use to sit the exam connect to it over your school's own local network, not the internet.

How it works

1

Activate

From Results → CBT on your StudyPat dashboard, pay the term fee (skip this step entirely on Pro and Enterprise - CBT is already included) and generate your school's unique CBT key.

2

Install

Download and install the CBT software on one computer in your school. Paste in your CBT key so it can talk to your StudyPat account.

3

Import your roster

Pull the class list, subjects and printable exam slips - each with a registration number and password - straight from StudyPat. Nothing to type in by hand.

4

Print and distribute slips

Hand each student their exam slip before the exam. The registration number is their login.

5

Run the exam offline

Students sit the exam on computers connected to your exam-hall server. No internet connection is needed for the exam itself, so a weak connection on exam day is not a problem.

6

Sync results

Once the exam is done and the computer is back online, upload the results with one click. Scores appear in your StudyPat broadsheet automatically, combined with any theory score a teacher has entered.

Good to know

  • Theory questions marked on paper stay exactly as they are today - a teacher enters that score manually on StudyPat, and it's added to the CBT objective score automatically.
  • Exam sessions run entirely offline once set up - only the initial setup (pulling the roster) and the final results upload need an internet connection.
  • Enterprise schools also get free installation support and a free custom domain of their choice, on top of free CBT.
