- Click on the Blueprints tab.
You are presented wit this screen:
In order to run an exam in Practique you do not need a Master Blueprint but you always need to set your Exam Blueprint. - Click on Create Exam Blueprints.
The next screen you see is the create exam blueprint page.
Give the exam a name. (Remember it, you’ll need it later!)
For exam type, select OSCE.
Exam size is the number of different questions or stations you need. For now, enter 2.
The remaining 4 questions are optional. For now, we will leave them blank. But explanations have been provided below.
- Exam venue candidate capacity: This is the number of candidates per circuit. Include rest stations in this number.
- Number of blocks: the number of sets of questions used in a day. If 1 set of questions is being used all day it would be 1 block. If 2 sets of questions are being used it would be 2 blocks.
- Number of sessions: the number of times the exam repeats itself in a day.
- Number of circuits: the number of simultaneous exams (rotations) running. For example, if using two rooms of 10 stations each, with each candidate taking 10 stations, you would enter 2.
- Standard setting method: the default standard setting for the exam. If you select one at this stage, it can be changed at a later stage.
- Click on Create Blueprint.
You are now taken to a screen to edit constraints for your exam. Constraints are limitations on the structure of the exam. This would be needed if you wanted to allow the questions to be automatically selected from a bank of questions. We won’t look at these for now.
