 +
# '''Test Published Notification''' – This email notification is sent to candidates when the test organizer assigns them to a specific testing session for a selected test. Instead of allowing candidates to book the session themselves, the test organizer assigns them to the session, and this notification confirms the assigned session details.
 +
# '''Canceled Attempt Notification''' – This email notification is sent to candidates when they cancel a previously booked testing session.
 +
# '''Upcoming Assignment Notification''' – Upcoming Test Reminder – This email notification is sent to candidates before the start of their assigned testing session. The time period for the reminder (x) is set in the system settings and can be configured to remind candidates x days, hours, or minutes before the session start time. This notification serves as a reminder of the upcoming test and provides candidates with the details of the testing session, including the date, time, and location

 +
|A proctor’s report is a summary written by the assigned proctor after a candidate completes an online-proctored test, which evaluates the candidate’s behavior during the exam and rates their test attempt as positive, negative, or neutral. It is an essential component of the testing process, as it provides valuable insights into a candidate’s performance and ensures that the test’s integrity is maintained.
 +
However, for users responsible for publishing and releasing grades, it is crucial to know how to check the proctor’s report to ensure that the candidate’s performance is accurately reflected in the final results.

|[https://www.youtestme.com/kb/test-authorization-free-rewrite/ Test authorization – Free Rewrite]
 +
|The test authorization feature grants administrators control over candidates’ test access, empowering them to select their preferred testing session within a desired time. Typically, test authorization is automatically assigned to candidates who purchase the test and fulfill all the necessary prerequisites. It’s important to note that test authorization is a one-time privilege, allowing candidates to take the test only once. Should they wish to retake the same test after completing their initial attempt and verifying the results, candidates are required to repurchase the test to obtain new authorization.
 +
Nevertheless, exceptions arise in cases where candidates encounter technical difficulties or other circumstances warrant special consideration. In such instances, the test organizer can allow a free rewrite option. A free rewrite allows candidates to retake the test using their existing test authorization, obviating the need to obtain a new one.

 +
This article will explain all the necessary steps for test organizers to facilitate a free rewrite.

|[https://www.youtestme.com/kb/how-to-create-special-request/ Special request]
 +
|The Special Request feature enables administrators to request specific documents or information from candidates at any point, both before and after a test.
 +
An illustrative example of its usage is in the administration of online AI-proctored tests, where monitoring by a proctor occurs post-test rather than in real-time. Before the examination, candidates are required to upload their IDs. However, since the proctor cannot verify the document at that immediately, the verification takes place subsequently. If the proctor deems the ID inadequate, they can use the special request option to prompt the candidate for an updated ID.
 +
 +
This article will provide a detailed explanation of how the special request process operates.

Customizing Email Notifications: Booking, Test Published, Cancellation, & Upcoming Sessions This article explains how to customize the following email notifications:
  1. Booked Assignment Notification – This email notification is sent to candidates when they book a seat for a testing session for a selected test. This notification confirms that the candidate’s seat has been reserved for the specified session.
  2. Test Published Notification – This email notification is sent to candidates when the test organizer assigns them to a specific testing session for a selected test. Instead of allowing candidates to book the session themselves, the test organizer assigns them to the session, and this notification confirms the assigned session details.
  3. Canceled Attempt Notification – This email notification is sent to candidates when they cancel a previously booked testing session.
  4. Upcoming Assignment Notification – Upcoming Test Reminder – This email notification is sent to candidates before the start of their assigned testing session. The time period for the reminder (x) is set in the system settings and can be configured to remind candidates x days, hours, or minutes before the session start time. This notification serves as a reminder of the upcoming test and provides candidates with the details of the testing session, including the date, time, and location

How to Check Proctor’s report A proctor’s report is a summary written by the assigned proctor after a candidate completes an online-proctored test, which evaluates the candidate’s behavior during the exam and rates their test attempt as positive, negative, or neutral. It is an essential component of the testing process, as it provides valuable insights into a candidate’s performance and ensures that the test’s integrity is maintained.

However, for users responsible for publishing and releasing grades, it is crucial to know how to check the proctor’s report to ensure that the candidate’s performance is accurately reflected in the final results.

This article will explain all steps involved in checking the proctor’s report.

Article

Test authorization – Free Rewrite The test authorization feature grants administrators control over candidates’ test access, empowering them to select their preferred testing session within a desired time. Typically, test authorization is automatically assigned to candidates who purchase the test and fulfill all the necessary prerequisites. It’s important to note that test authorization is a one-time privilege, allowing candidates to take the test only once. Should they wish to retake the same test after completing their initial attempt and verifying the results, candidates are required to repurchase the test to obtain new authorization.

Nevertheless, exceptions arise in cases where candidates encounter technical difficulties or other circumstances warrant special consideration. In such instances, the test organizer can allow a free rewrite option. A free rewrite allows candidates to retake the test using their existing test authorization, obviating the need to obtain a new one.

This article will explain all the necessary steps for test organizers to facilitate a free rewrite.

Article
Special request The Special Request feature enables administrators to request specific documents or information from candidates at any point, both before and after a test.

An illustrative example of its usage is in the administration of online AI-proctored tests, where monitoring by a proctor occurs post-test rather than in real-time. Before the examination, candidates are required to upload their IDs. However, since the proctor cannot verify the document at that immediately, the verification takes place subsequently. If the proctor deems the ID inadequate, they can use the special request option to prompt the candidate for an updated ID.

This article will provide a detailed explanation of how the special request process operates.
