Top Questions from the Webinar

1 . Can Mettl run on Android?

Yes. Mettl platforms are on Cloud and browser-based. Therefore, exams can be accessed from any device.

2 . How is the auto-grading logic set for an online exam?

The grading logic can be set-up at the time of creating a test. Scores can be allotted to each question. The option of negative marking is also available. Furthermore, long answers and upload-type questions which are not auto-graded can be manually evaluated. The total score, section-wise scores, and individual question-level scores are then made available in reports.

3 . Do you provide back-end data analysis for learning and training outcomes?

Yes. Mercer Mettl provides insightful reports for online examinations that contain group-level and individual analytics.

4 . How do you ensure there is no impersonation while taking exams?

Mercer Mettl’s examination platforms use multi-factor candidate authentication to eliminate chances of impersonation. Students need to click their picture, furnish an identity proof and share registration details before starting a test. The proctors, available round the clock, verify the photo IDs against the registration details to attest if the candidates are bona fide.

5 . Have you taken a feedback from students to understand their acceptability for an online mathematical semester examination?

We have deployed an equation editor across students and discovered that high-school students and those at UG/PG levels are comfortable with using the online equation editor, after taking a mock exam. It is only in case of very young students that the same may not be feasible.
