A digital test is an assignment type that is created online and allows for students to take the test either remotely or on location. Ans offers many possibilities and partners with several integrations to ensure that digital tests can be conducted more securely no matter where the test takes place. A digital test can either be done individually or as a group.

Monitor the taking session of your digital test
When a digital test is active, it is possible to monitor the progress of participants.

You can also see the percentage of participants that have completed each exercise.
