Obtaining a degree or certification can be fulfilling, yet at times, demanding. It is common to face the challenge of managing several online exams concurrently, which can be overwhelming. Lucky for you, we have compiled several best practices to assist you in staying organized and enhancing your chances for success.

When managing various online assessments simultaneously, it’s advisable to:

Prioritize

With abundant material to review and limited time, it is crucial to ensure you’re studying the appropriate material in the correct sequence. How can you ascertain the order of priority for your exams? You can achieve this by:

• Evaluating the difficulty level of every exam
Some assessments might be more challenging than others, or focus on topics you consider complicated. Prioritizing your most challenging examinations can be beneficial, as you can dedicate your time to comprehensively reviewing the material that is most advantageous for you.

• Considering the significance of each exam and its corresponding value
This will ensure you’re directing your efforts towards the assessments that will have the greatest influence on your overall score.

• If submission dates vary, identify which exam is due first
With Examity, you can navigate to your dashboard to review the available timeframes for completing your assessments. Once aware of which tests must be taken first, you can then schedule accordingly.

Ensure to plan ahead

We recommend creating a study planner to assist in keeping you on track. In your planner, we advise that you: 

• Break down the material you need to study into segments and devise a timeline for studying each segment. Subsequently, study for the duration that suits you best, whether it’s 20 minutes or an hour. This approach can alleviate stress and enhance the efficiency of your study process. 

• Set realistic short-term and long-term objectives in the planner. For illustration, you might aim to complete a particular chapter by week’s end, and then strive to achieve a score of 90% or above on all your assessments. 

And, prepare for the unexpected

During an online examination, unforeseen circumstances can arise, such as power outages or unreliable internet connectivity. Always keep a buffer time. Don’t postpone taking your exams until the final hour or day, in case complications occur on exam day. Should you encounter additional issues on exam day, such as technical difficulties with your computer, reach out to our test-taker support team. Our well-trained team is available around the clock to assist. Also, ensure that you verify your device is prepared for testing with Examity ahead of time, to avoid delays on your exams. You can conduct a system check here, or, access your Examity dashboard where an automatic system check will confirm if your setup meets our testing standards.

Avoid scheduling your exams back-to-back

It might be tempting to attempt cramming all your exams into a single day, or taking them consecutively, but doing so can negatively affect your performance. Taking several exams one after another may hinder your ability to transition between various subjects and can result in fatigue. This could lead to diminished focus and motivation. 

If feasible, it is advisable to space out your assessments to maintain concentration. Examity’s 24/7 scheduling system can assist you in preventing back-to-back exams, allowing you to select times that work best for you. Allow yourself sufficient time between exams for recovery and to facilitate transitioning between different topics.

Schedule exams in advance, and avoid last-minute arrangements

When arranging exams with Examity, we suggest that you book them in advance to enhance your preparation chances. However, refrain from taking your exams at the last moment! If you do so, you may lack the time to reschedule your tests if retaking is necessary.

By scheduling your assessments ahead of time, you’ll be more equipped. Setting objectives can help maintain your motivation and concentration, ensuring you allocate ample time to perform your best in each exam. 

Simultaneously taking numerous exams can be intimidating, but when adequately prepared, the process will be more manageable. Should you have any inquiries regarding Examity, please contact our 24/7 test-taker support team. Best of luck with your assessments!
