online exam

Internet-based assessment

An online exam is a test administered through the internet rather than on paper in a physical location.

Students typically log into a platform, answer questions within a time limit, and submit electronically.

Online exams may use proctoring software to monitor for cheating: The professor switched to online exams after the campus closed.
