Strong interest in practice sessions for digital exams at the Aletta Jacobs Hall

Exams have started again, which means exam stress for many students. This time, nearly 800 students are starting their exams feeling slightly less stressed because they have already practised taking digital exams at the Aletta Jacobs Hall.

For the past few years, the Assessment Support team within the CIT Education domain has been organising two introductory sessions for new students in the run-up to the exam period. During a drop-in session, they can familiarise themselves with various digital examination formats in the venue where the exams take place, the Aletta Jacobs Hall. This can help alleviate a great deal of stress during the actual digital exam, allowing students to focus fully on the content of the exam.

Faculty-independent

The introductory sessions are faculty- and subject-independent and focus purely on exploring the digital assessment environment. Students will not be shown any practice exams or course content, but they will be given examples of how the assessment environment works. In March 2027, new drop-in sessions will be offered for students starting their studies at that time.
