Case Study: Christ's College strengthens secure digital assessments with Exam.net

Christ's College Digital Assessment Evolution: Preparing for New Zealand's NCEA exams with Exam.net

Christ's College, an independent boys' school in New Zealand, was grappling with how to ensure academic honesty in the age of ChatGPT, prepare students for mandatory digital exams from the NZQA, and provide a secure digital environment for students with special assessment needs. They turned to the vendor Exam.net and its secure digital assessment platform to address these challenges.

By implementing Exam.net, the school provided a secure testing environment that blocks access to AI tools and the internet, ensuring academic integrity. The platform also allowed students to practice for their official NCEA exams and offered integrated support tools for those with special needs. The measurable impact was significant, with over 12,000 individual exams conducted in 2023. Exam.net provided value for money, was widely adopted by teachers for its ease of use, and was credited with elevating student performance in assessments.
