### "Basic test-taking software"

August 17, 2018

3.0

ExamSoft reliably provided a secure test-taking platform for me and my classmates.

Pros

My favorite aspect of ExamSoft is the security it provides for test taking.

Cons

The software occasionally crashes, and the interface is very basic.

### "Exams"

August 5, 2019

4.0

Pros

I am grateful​ for this software and it being able to lock down my computer so I can take a test in a classroom instead of scheduling a time in the testing center. It beats the hassle and the anxiety of a testing center.

Cons

This software is great. It does lag a bit at the beginning​ and after you finish your test.

2.0

### "Examsoft Review"

July 22, 2019

4.0

Pros

The exams are easy to navigate through. I like how the font of the exam could be adjusted. Also liked how the exams had attachment pop up for associated questions. All the different features and functions of the software made it easier to take exams on computers.

Cons

I did not like how once the exam is downloaded, you can delete it off the list; for example, there were exams that are just test-run exams that would be on the list forever. Also the calculator in the exam is a little bit difficult to use.

### "Not good overall software"

June 4, 2021

3.0

Not as good as anticipated. Quiz on Canvas or Lockdown browser works better than examsoft.

Pros

Nice for in person quiz in class. No direct video screen monitoring but it will close background apps but require proctor in exam. Good experience of giving quiz and in classroom exam

Cons

Not user friendly. I don't know why software wants to have specific processor for optimal performance. Sometimes it creates problem in uploading quiz as examsoft disconnect network and you will have hard time in uploading.

### "Great for test statistics"

January 19, 2020

5.0

As stated earlier, this is a great software for running statistics on exam questions. It also makes grading super easy and simple. Overall, the good outweighs the bad.

Pros

This software provides the test creator with the ability to view test statistics of all kinds. It shows you how difficult your question was, how good your answer distractors were, and most importantly, how the students performed on a given question. It makes evaluating the quality of the test question easy.

Cons

There have been multiple occasions when students have had to restart their computer while trying to get an exam to load (after the initial download) at the start of the exam. The wheel of death starts to spin, and there is no hope. The only thing that works is restarting the computer. This can increase anxiety and stress levels in students who are about to take an important exam and is a glitch that should be addressed.

### "My Experience with Exam Soft"

June 22, 2021

5.0

My overall experience was very good with this software and would definitely be using this more in the future. Best software I have used of its kind.

Pros

Loved it. Absolutely loved this software. Being the principal of a high school, and especially due to the pandemic we had to find a secure software to allow students to do there assignments and examinations. This software was very easy to use and would definitely recommend this to all my colleagues.

Cons

There is barely no problems I had with this software and when I did, it was quickly resolved by the customer service.

### "Good overall "

May 10, 2023

4.0

Pros

I like examsoft because it was easy to use when my school switched to it. I didn’t have a hard time using it

Cons

I don’t like it because when you try to access strengths and opportunities you have to log in so many times. Also, the strength and opportunities is confusing because it doesn’t really tell me what I missed.

### "Examsoft facilitates the exam-taking process at school. "

October 10, 2017

3.0

Pros

This software is intuitive to use, which is particularly useful in the context of taking a timed, high stakes exam.

Cons

This software has an outdated design. Also, sometimes it will lag during an exam, perhaps from an incompatibility with newer computer softwares.

### "Satisfactory Software for Exams"

November 10, 2020

4.0

We have used ExamSoft for several exam sessions and have never encountered any major issues. Solid product that does what you need it to.

Pros

ExamSoft is not complicated. It interfaces easily and displays cleanly. It is also good for longer essay exams due to word count features and auto spell checker.

Cons

Doesn't have a lot of "features", but doesn't necessarily need them either. Maybe some more ways for the user to customize things in terms of view, but usually most features are set by the administrator/exam giver.

### "Would not recommend"

April 13, 2019

2.0

Pros

I enjoy being able to mark questions and cross out answers during the test. That is very convenient.

Cons

I did not like how it affects my computer when it is running. Many students in my class mentioned that they had to turn off their virus protection software to use ExamSoft and that raises some red flags. I wouldn't recommend this software until some changes were made.

### "Straightforward testing software"

May 15, 2018

4.0

Pros

The software is pretty self-explanatory and easy to use. I really liked that I could just open it and use it correctly without having to go through some orientation to the software

Cons

It's no frills there could be some useful add-ons to make testing easier, like organizing your list of flagged questions so you can just review those at the end would have been really nice

### "good for test but not to review the test"

October 8, 2017

2.0

Pros

Works fine to give a test but if you want to show the students the test in a secure environment it is sorely lacking.

Cons

They have not thought through the entire educational process. You cannot let students individually look through their exam in a secure environment without printing out each student's test. This is a huge waste of time and paper (particularly since it prints only 2 questions per page). They have a review option, but you have to know all different option before you even give the exam, and can only do it once, at one time. This is very poor software planning for someone who should be all about assessments. The response from support was basically print 3000 pages of material. Arg.

### "Good test taking software"

June 26, 2018

5.0

Easy and versatile testing software.

Pros

The college I am going to runs all their exams through ExamSoft. It is straightforward and easy to use, have never had any issues with it shutting down during exams or losing data. Been using it for over three years.

Cons

It is a little bit hard sometimes to go back over your answers to review them before submitting. If you flag questions you want to review it makes it much easier though.

### "An excellent way to test many students and quickly grade exams"

February 7, 2020

5.0

Pros

As a student, it is a very nice thing to be able to simply show up to an exam with your laptop and take it on there. It is also nice that since all of it is electronic, it is graded and evaluated quite quickly. ExamSoft is the future of educational software and it will make paper exams a thing of the past.

Cons

I sometimes wish that you could view your exam results outside of designated review sessions (raw scores with no answers), but I understand there are confidentiality issues with this.

### "Nice software, great for test taking, user friendly"

July 17, 2019

5.0

Pros

I used this software throughout school to take exams. I really liked ExamSoft because everything was always clearly displayed and there were a lot of helpful tools during exam taking. There is an option to flag questions and a timer that gives a clear 5 minute warning before the exam is over. I would definitely recommend this software to any institution.

Cons

I didn't think the built-in calculator was very user friendly. However, I think this is an issue with all online calculators.

### "Have a hard time with this software"

December 5, 2018

4.0

Pros

Exams can be built into the program and can also be timed and monitored remotely by the proctor. As a student we had ExamSoft built into our iPads and would essentially act as a lockdown browser so no other windows can be open at the time to prevent cheating.

Cons

It is a little laggy and I have had problems with it quitting unexpectedly or not loading questions properly. Also setting up a profile takes a while and is a long winded process.

### "ExamSoft Review"

November 26, 2018

4.0

Implementation of exams and tests are simplified. The software installation is also a breeze. Only downside is the amount of software updates.

Pros

I liked how easy it was to create and then upload exams.

Cons

I did not like how often the software needed to be updated.

### "Say goodbye to paper exams "

March 6, 2022

4.0

Pros

It is especially helpful when you can highlight part of a question while taking an exam. I have several case based questions in my exams and I like to showcase important information that helps me come up with my answers.

Cons

I don't like that the administrator can prevent you from going back to previous questions if they choose to do so.

### "Great testing software "

August 5, 2020

5.0

Pros

I like the simplicity of the interface. There are colors that correspond to all steps necessary in a proctored test.

Cons

I dislike how it affected my laptop internet connectivity even when the application is not running my internet would randomly disconnect from laptop

### "I am a student in Pharmacy school and use this software to take tests and turn in other assignments."

March 15, 2018

3.0

Pros

The test taking part of the software is pretty good. Its easy to navigate and runs pretty smoothly. However, I miss the ability to navigate questions using the ctrl + >/< keys.

Cons

I don't like using it to turn in documents. It's never clear if I have actually turned in anything.

### "Facilitated remote exams"

September 29, 2020

3.0

ExamSoft's main issue is the ability to provide customer service to facilitate many simultaneous test-takers.

Pros

ExamSoft facilitated remote exams like the Bar Exam when in-person ones got canceled because of COVID. This was important. The user interface is not difficult.

Cons

The software can be glitchy, such as telling users they've already taken an exam when they haven't, and forcing them to call customer service for an override. Uploads also take a while. The remote proctoring software seems very sensitive to even small issues such as looking out the window or away from the screen for a few seconds.

### "Provides the exam results I need for a strong analysis but students have issues. "

March 8, 2018

2.0

Good ability to review tests from a professor's standpoint.

Pros

The software provides me with the ability to perform a strong analysis of my test and test questions. It also provides me with an easy way to remediate tests with students on a one on one basis.

Cons

Students always have problems starting there tests. In my last class of 13 students, 2 students had to take the exam in the computer lab because the software did not work on the students computers.

### "Exam Software Review"

December 30, 2016

1.0

ExamSoft is a straight-forward application that is relatively user-friendly. I used it while taking examinations in law school. Notably, however, the program frequently ceases to function during timed exams, which is every law student's worst nightmare. When it freezes you would have to restart your whole computer during an exam. Frequently has trouble connecting to WiFi, as well.
