What is ifs e-test™?

ifs e-test™ is the electronic assessment system for multiple-choice examinations developed by the ifs School of Finance. ifs e-test™ has been designed to combine ease of use and the highest levels of security with minimal demand on system resources. It allows users to take examinations within a controlled environment on their own premises at times convenient for them.

Who is ifs e-test™ for?

As a supplement to the existing network of 150 test centres across the UK, ifs e-test™ offers corporate customers potential cost savings and enhances speed to market over other forms of assessment.

• Bespoke, company-specific assessment services, delivered through ifs e-test™
• Security - the software has been designed to 'lock down' any other applications, preventing any service interruption

How ifs e-test™ works

The ifs e-test™ software comprises 2 elements: an administration suite and the assessment software.

The administration suite allows the administrator to set up examinations, choosing the specific examination that candidates will sit, and setting the examination date. The system provides flexibility around examination scheduling to best meet our customers' training needs, and this administration process can be handled from anywhere in your network.

Once the assessment software is loaded on individual workstations/PCs, examinations can be downloaded for any number of candidates. Candidates in 1 examination venue do not need to be taking the same subject.

At the end of the session the system calculates the marks and the results are available to be printed as soon as the examination is complete. The results should then be uploaded to the ifs via a secure link, at which point they are available online through our secure website.
