Those being assessed
Examinees are people taking an examination.
The word appears almost exclusively in formal or institutional contexts—test administration guidelines, educational research, standardized testing procedures: Examinees must present valid identification before entering the testing room.
In everyday speech, people say test-takers or simply students.
