Test Center
Test Center for Flying Schools
Flying Schools
Test Center gives flying schools control of the progress
of the school's student pilots towards their final CAA
exams. It is based on the same database of questions
as the Mock PPL and the Mock NPL yet it goes further
in that it keeps a record of every test attempted, right
down to the questions that were asked for each exam
and how the student answered. As well as generating
reports on the student progress, it allows the student,
optionally with an instructor, to bring back an exam
result sheet for revision purposes. Just like the Mock
exams, the student is able to click into any question
to see the explanation of the answer.
Test Center as a filter
Many fight school administrators use Test Center a a
way to filter the students, allowing only those who
are able to pass a particular subject at the 90% levels
to move on to take the CAA exam. This reduces the
number of official failure recorded at the CAA for their
school.
A complete examination management system
Flying School Test Center - the process
Booking
When a student is ready to take
an exam a booking is made using
the Test Management screen. The
details of the student and the
exam are recorded.
Test Bed
When the student arrives to take
the exam, he/she sits at the
workstation where Test Bed is
running. Test bed presents the
exam the same way as Mock PPL or
NPL, but Test Bed keeps a full
record of the exam and its results.
Results and explanations
On completion of the exam, the
results are made available to the
student in the same form as Mock
PPL or NPL. The difference is that
as well as being able to
interrogate the question
background at the completion of
the test, Test Center allows the
student to call back the exam
results at a later date, optionally
with an instructor for assistance.
Reports
The main advantage of Test Center to
the flying school administrator is the
generation of progress reports.
