Digital exams

We have been working with electronic examinations since 2011. In the 2020/21 academic year, more than 10,000 examinations from over 40 different courses were taken electronically in more than 130 individual sessions. The trend is rising and we are particularly proud of this.

eExams at the faculty are processed with Perception from ^{Questionmark®}.

The advantages

You benefit from the fact that you can write faster on a laptop/computer than by hand, that you tend to receive your exam result faster and that you can concentrate even more on the content of the exam thanks to technical aids, including legal databases. This also helps the faculty, as we don't have to decipher handwriting that is difficult to read and are therefore up to 40% faster at correcting . We are constantly evaluating and optimizing our services to provide you and your colleagues with a pleasant exam experience.

Bring your own device (BYOD)

B(ring) Y(our) O(wn) D(evice) enables students to take electronic examinations on their own device on campus. Students who do not have their own laptop can borrow a device.

Technical requirements for using your own computer:

Enter the following URL: https: //exam.uni-graz.at/home/exam/user.

Then enter "Testuser Internet REWI" for the name and "Test" for the password. Open a test assessment, edit it and then submit it.
If everything works without an error message, your system is ready for the BYOD test.
