Exams are stressful. No matter how prepared a candidate is, there will always be a feeling of anxiety on test day. We understand this, which is why, at Kryterion, we do everything we can to reduce and eliminate any outside factors that can create additional stress. Things like scheduling an exam and making sure everything is in place for a smooth launch.
We believe in intuitive design and are committed to continually improving how both organizations and their candidates interact with everything we offer. Our passion for innovation is only surpassed by our desire to provide the best possible experience for all those involved. To do this, we looked at our user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) to identify opportunities to enhance every interaction.
Here are the most recent ways we are continuing to improve the testing experience. Collectively, these changes significantly enhance the candidate’s journey when taking an exam, providing smoother, more intuitive, and stress-free testing.
Scheduling Made Simple
We’ve introduced several features to make it more intuitive and convenient than ever to schedule an exam with Kryterion, including:
- Time-Zone Auto Selection: The system auto selects the time-zone based on the candidate’s location, and candidates can adjust it according to their preference for full flexibility.
- Filters: Candidates can filter by morning, afternoon, or evening to quickly find the best time slot for them to take their exam.
- Time Formats: We offer both 12 and 24 hour formats as an inclusive design choice that caters to candidates from different countries who may have diverse time format preferences.
- Map and Table Views: To accommodate different preferences when selecting a location, we include both a map and table view.
- Progress Bar: This helpful progress bar guides candidates through the process, showing them where they are and how many steps remain.
- Calendar Integration: We include the ability to save an exam directly to the candidate’s calendar as a reminder.
- On-demand Exams: The option to take an exam immediately offers unmatched flexibility and convenience for candidates.
All of these enhancements add up to an exam scheduling experience that is truly second to none.
Preparing for Exam Success
We’ve also added new features to make it easier than ever for candidates to get ready for their exams, including:
- System Check and Launch Screen
Imagine spending lots of time preparing for a test only to find out at exam time that your equipment doesn’t work. That’s why we provide a system check before the exam to make sure everything is working properly. This check significantly reduces launch failures and boosts successful exam starts. We also improved the waiting page with a game to ease the tension before the exam begins.
- Dual Camera Capabilities for Enhanced Test Security
We know how important security is to our customers. That’s why we developed our revolutionary Dual Camera feature that provides multi-angle monitoring designed with both functionality and usability in mind. It adds a robust layer of security without disrupting the candidate’s experience. With an intuitive UI that simplifies setup, candidates feel at ease, while UX-focused design keeps the monitoring process smooth and unobtrusive.

Our focus on UX ensures that this powerful technology remains accessible and user-friendly, minimizing any potential stress for the candidate.
