Creating and delivering your assessment

With more than 35 digital item types available, RM’s end-to-end assessment platform lets you go far beyond replicating paper tests to assess candidates’ skills in a relevant and realistic way.

From video animations and chemical equations, to fully functional spreadsheets, our platform gives your candidates a familiar, authentic assessment that reflects the realities of the task in hand.

You can set questions using any combination of stimuli: text, web pages, PDF files, video, or audio. By assessing practical work examples, interview recordings and image portfolios, you can gain an accurate and holistic view of your candidate’s true abilities.

Key facts

  • The user interface requires no technical knowledge to operate; it can be used with ease to build simple or complex tests.

  • Create adaptive, looped, and/or branching tests – tailoring the assessment to the candidate based on their responses.

  • Fully customisable workflow to enable the item and test authoring process to reflect your own working practices.

  • Over 25 different widgets including progress bars, hot spots, calculators, and formulae, alongside a fully searchable library of resources and other reusable components.

  • Tailor the design and timing of your test to each candidate, without drawing attention to their individual needs, and provide customisable accessibility options.

  • Translate your existing items, titles, and other stimuli components into the preferred script direction and language (all character sets are supported e.g., Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese).

Delivering your assessment

Once you’ve created your assessment, you need to deliver it in a way that’s robust and reliable. RM’s assessment platform is always available. It can support tens of thousands of users at once, with a system architecture that uses multiple clustered databases to give absolute data integrity for all.

The best way to deliver your assessment will depend on your accessibility and security needs, as well as internet connectivity and bandwidth. After 15 years of delivering digital assessments around the world, we’re able to say that RM’s assessment platform works almost everywhere. It lets you mix and match different delivery methods, to suit your own needs:

This gives you flexibility to deliver your assessment in tightly controlled conditions, with or without online access, or where you have limited control over the candidate’s device.

 We’re delighted to be working with RM to provide a more modern and secure experience through the transition to digital assessment. RM’s proven platform, speed of delivery and expertise are all key components of our work together and will allow us to give our members more flexibility when it comes to sitting exams.
