The candidate can move among sections (question pools) and questions in any order whereas in adaptive examination, questions are administered to a candidate based of his/her previous responses.

h) Exam Conduction system which presents the question paper to the candidate and captures the answers submitted by the candidate for the questions in the question paper. It supports both static and adaptive mode of examinations.

i) Result Generation module which is responsible for generating the results of the candidates from the responses made by them. In static examination, marks are added for a right answer and deducted for a wrong answer where as In case of an adaptive examination, section-wise (question pool-wise) ability is generated instead of marks.

j) Reports generation module is used to generate and view the various reports pertaining to candidate registrations details. This is also used for generation of results but only after the conduction of examination.
