ExamWritePad is the UK’s very first (Windows PC-based) word processor built and designed specifically for use with controlled assessments/exams. Written with guidelines set out by many UK exam boards, makes it unique and provides an answer to many a dilemma of which software to use.
Besides what you would expect from any Notepad/WordPad application, the main features are its ability to auto-save at timed intervals and create backups in case of power failures at timed intervals. Allow insertion into the header of all the candidate information required, not forgetting the date. You can zoom into your document if you struggle to read it. You can also change the background colour to something more suitable for people suffering from conditions like Irlen‘s Syndrome. The application can run in many screen modes like normal window or full-screen, so people cannot deviate from the task. As documented below, are an extensive list of configurable options.
You can also print off the coversheets from WJEC and CAIE with most fields pre-filled in ready. A countdown timer for those with extra time, a basic spell checker, and many more…
Each auto backup file is kept for 24 hours in case of emergencies, but within the software, you can only recover the last 1 hour of backups.
Additional features include a Narrator, PDF Read aloud, CD Player, MP3 Player, ScreenFilter/overlay, and many more…
