Requesting a Questionmark Perception (QMP) Online Examination

To request an assessment to be scheduled in Questionmark Perception please contact the IS Helpline two weeks before the assessment is due to start with the following information:

• Course name
• Assessment name
• Assessment location on server if already created
•  Excel file containing the following information in separate columns for each student:
  • Student number (with preceding s – e.g. s1234567)
  • Surname
  • First name
  • Any timing adjustments required for particular students 

We will import this data into QMP from a .csv file - please download this sample file to see the correct format.

• The number of attempts each student is allowed
• The period (dates and times) the examination is to be available to the students
• Duration of the examination (if applicable)
• Venue (if applicable)

Please provide this information two weeks prior to the exam date to allow us time to process it. It is helpful if you can provide advanced notice of planned exams even before you have full details so we know to expect them.

If required, the member of staff requesting the Questionmark Perception examination will have to ensure that

• the venue has been booked
• Registry has been contacted and the examination date agreed
• Learning Spaces Technology (LST) has been contacted about putting computers into QMP exam mode and the date agreed
• Learning Spaces Technology (LST) has been contacted about any adjustments to the physical space and equipment required by students
