Moreover, most faculties using computerized exams maintain extra alternative computers in case of any sudden errors. In this case, lost time is to be taken into consideration by the observer and the student&#8217;s time will be extended for the time taken till another computer is up and running.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Second_Students\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Second: Students<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_I_Prepare_for_Computerized_Exam\"><\/span><strong>How Do I Prepare for Computerized Exam?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">You don&#8217;t have to think much about the things you may have forgotten before any test, your pen, pencil, rubber, ruler, what else? In fact, computerized exams have come to save your time as well as professors&#8217; time. Now you can save your efforts only for studying; there&#8217;s no longer any need for any of these tools when taking computerized exams. You may, however, need only 2 things:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">A clear mind.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">A strong memory.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Further, if you need to change your answer during the test, you will be to do just that before the time is over; editing is an all-time available option. However, do not let yourself to hesitation and counterfactual thinking, a concept explained by Roy F. Baumeister and Brad J. Bushman in their book &#8220;Social Psychology and Human Nature, Brief.&#8221; It is imagining alternatives to what already happened in the past or what is happening now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-286 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/qorrectassess.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/brain-2062048_640.jpg\" alt=\"brain - mind - assessment in Egyptian universities\" width=\"512\" height=\"264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/qorrectassess.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/brain-2062048_640.jpg 512w, https:\/\/qorrectassess.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/brain-2062048_640-300x155.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This is something humans pass through sometimes. Both authors see that this manner of thinking greatly affects students during exams, especially during answering MCQs. A student, for example, may choose one of the answers and then starts doubting their first instinct and thinking that choosing another answer may be better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The authors go on saying that some test preparation guides advise students to be cautious if they chose to change their answer: &#8220;Experience indicates that many students who change answers change to the wrong answer.&#8221; so our advice to you is to believe in yourself and be confident answering test questions; plus, do not let psychological theories and hesitation affect your answer if you are believe it is true.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If you study in one of the faculties that have chosen to start implementing computerized exams software, you are one of the lucky students! Faculties that have started implementing computer-based exams have made great efforts to provide high-quality specialized computer labs for tests, as what happened in Cairo University, Al Kasr Al Ainy, Al Demerdash, Ain Shams, and Benha University, the Faculty of Computer Science.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Through the computerized exams in universities system, Qorrect, you can know your result once the exam is over. Remember that implementing this system in Egypt happened in the first place in order to have balanced fair exams for all students and reduce the human error factor in grading tests, or eliminate it completely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Modern technology may be only a tool; however, it&#8217;s a tool that we cannot do without in developing the testing system in Egyptian universities. Therefore, continuing to invest in edtech and evaluation and assessment software is the foundation of educational development in Egypt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>To know more about Qorrect, the comprehensive assessment system, please press\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qorrectassess.com\/en\/assessment-system-free-trial?utm_source=engblog&amp;utm_medium=examsbestpractices\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<span class='mb-center maxbutton-1-center'><span class='maxbutton-1-container mb-container'><a class=\"maxbutton-1 maxbutton maxbutton-cta\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3oOFRzd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class='mb-text'>Request Your FREE Demo Now!<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are some of the best practices that will make preparing for assessment in Egyptian universities conducted with Qorrect assessment system super easy and effortless (check out our &#8220;2019 in Brief: Academic Assessment Software in Egyptian Universities&#8220;).
