Cheat indicator via IP-addresses

The Candidates Results export file also contains a column that shows which IP-addresses were used per candidate.

Candidates who are working on the same ip-address or using multiple IP-addresses for one attempt, are both indicators of cheating.

To check this, export a candidate report (Reports > Candidate Results > Export to Excel) and review the IP address column.

Candidate results including registration form data

Similar to 'candidate results’ but also shows what candidates answered on the registration form.

Results Including seed items

This gives you the option to include seed item data in your export (by default not selected).
