A virtual exam is simply a test that is conducted online through the Internet. This examination should be taken by applicants individually and hopes to test their practical and cognitive skills. The exam as mentioned above in computerized form and is also objective in nature and is created in order to evaluate students. The objective form of examination is considered easier than the subjective form of examination, since students are expected to choose the answer to the questions that are already predetermined and are provided in the question document, which students have to choose Correct one or the nearest to the correct one.
The pattern of questions can be multiple options, where the students have to choose the correct one from the given options, or to mention if the declared facts are true or false. Other types include graphic hotspots, where students need to recognize an object or position. Yet another type includes text input, where a brief response must be provided either in the text format or in the numerical format.
The reason these questions are used for the virtual exam is because the question pattern is the multiple choice, which allows the use of automated marking. This is because no judgement is required in this case as the answers will be incorrect or correct. However, it should be noted that the tests can be customized so that the objective part of the test depends on the test manufacturer, it can be only as objective as the brands want it to be. Having this type of evidence allows only a specific group of people to request it, without the hassle of others requesting it. Most of these tests are time based and there is no room for bias since all applicants receive the same amount of time.
