Practice Inspera exams for students   

For courses with end-of-semester digital exams, Course Coordinators are encouraged to offer students a practice exam. This helps students get comfortable with the exam process and test their devices. Course Coordinators can create a course-specific practice exam or guide students on how to self-enrol using the Inspera Preparation Test
