How to run an online mock test for a large batch
Short answer: To run a mock test for a large batch, import students by CSV and confirm sign-in beforehand, test the paper on a phone and laptop, brief students on rules, assign one support contact, use full-screen lock on the day, and review ranks and mistake analysis afterwards.
A test with hundreds of students needs more preparation than a classroom quiz. This checklist covers the week before, the test day and the results.
Before the test
- Import students by CSV and confirm everyone can sign in
- Publish the test and check it on a phone and a laptop yourself
- Tell students the date, duration and rules in advance
- Have a named person for support questions on test day
On test day
- Use the full-screen exam lock
- Turn on tab-switch detection if your plan includes it
- For centre tests, use device binding and IP lock
After the test
Read batch ranks and cutoffs, then use the mistake diagnosis to pick topics for the next class: silly mistakes need practice under time, concept gaps need teaching.
