Case Study: Leicester Medical School achieves more efficient, secure assessments with ExamSoft

Leicester Medical School saves £4,500 a year with ExamSoft

Leicester Medical School, part of the University of Leicester, faced challenges with its paper-based exam system, including the logistical difficulty of booking computer labs and the high resource costs of printing. Seeking a more flexible and sustainable solution that aligned with their 1:1 iPad program, the school turned to the vendor ExamSoft and its Examplify application for a computer-based testing alternative.

ExamSoft provided a paperless, high-security platform that allowed exams to be taken on the school-issued iPads, eliminating the need for printed tests and dedicated labs. The implementation resulted in an estimated annual saving of at least £4,500 on paper and printing costs, alongside significant time savings for staff. The solution also improved test quality through data-driven question review and provided detailed feedback to students, which contributed to better learning outcomes. The vendor's platform proved especially valuable for enabling a smooth transition to remote exams during the COVID-19 pandemic.
