Examinations are a means of assessing a student’s learning, understanding, progress and potential in a field of knowledge. In an educational setup, examinations can also help instil a sense of discipline amongst students. From a teacher’s point of view, exams are a validation of the effectiveness of the teaching process and help adjust the pace and method of teaching to suit a group of students. As examinations are very crucial, they must be conducted with a lot of care and preparation.
Question papers are one of the most important components of any examination. But generating them is not an easy task for educators. Putting together a set of exam questions is challenging and extremely time consuming for teachers. The questions must cover the entire scope of the syllabus while giving optimum weightage to every topic. At the same time, the question paper should be challenging enough for the entire group of examinees to demonstrate their capabilities suitably. Developing a question paper keeping all these factors in focus is not an easy task. Educational institutes can benefit by using a subject matter expert who can author the question papers based on predetermined factors. Also, multiple sets of questions papers can be created, so that all students get different versions of the same question paper, which can help reduce the chance of students copying during an examination.
There is also the risk of examination paper leaks which not only tarnish the reputation of the examination bodies but also cause a delay in conducting the examination and also publishing the results. The efforts of months of preparation that went into the exam paper setting simply go down the drain. A question paper delivered just a few hours before the exam can help bring down the chances of malpractices to a large extent.
