eAssessments / eExams - Frequently Asked Questions You have to take part in an eExamination soon? Here you can find the frequently asked questions and its answers.

Where is the exam room located?

The eExams take place in the eAssessment Center in the 1st basement of the IKMZ.

Please check with the teaching staff anyway, as changes may occur.

What do I need to take the eExam?

If no other resources are specified by the instructor, you only need your student ID. You should also know your BTU account information (username and password).

  • Please have the username and password of your BTU account ready to enter!
  • You will not be able to take an exam without these data!

You can check your login again here (https://www.b-tu.de/account).

How does the eExam work?
  • Arrive at the examination room in good time before the start of the examination.
  • You are free to choose the PC you want to sit at or it will be assigned to you by the teacher.
  • Bags, jackets and food are not allowed in the examination room.
  • The invigilators (teachers, technical invigilators) will explain the further procedure and answer questions before the exam.
  • You will receive your login data for the exam and start the exam software.
  • As soon as you have finished your exam, you can close the program and leave the room as instructed by the invigilator.
  • You will then be informed of the exam results by the instructor in a timely manner.

 

What happens when my computer crashes?

During the exam, a technical supervisor is always present to help you with any technical problems or questions. If there are any problems with the PC, you can continue your test on another PC in the same room, as instructed by the proctor. The entries you have already made are automatically transferred to the new PC.

I would like to view my eExam. How to do it?

Just as with written exams, you can view your e-exam on demand directly at the corresponding chair/subject area. Please check with your instructor.

Can I take a break during the eExam?

It is not possible to take a break during the e-exam. If you still need a break, the time of your exam will continue during this time.

By whom are the eExams controlled?

Certain types of tasks are automatically evaluated by the examination system. However, all tasks in the examination system are checked again by the teachers and corrected if necessary.

I have a health limitation/handicap. What happens now?

In this case, please consult with the instructor and, if necessary, directly with the multimedia center, so that a joint solution (e.g. technical adjustment, time adjustment) can be found.
