Creating Categories in ExamSoft

Categories give users the means to assess and improve curriculum, feedback loops, and overall standards.

Creating Categories is very simple, yet their impact extends far beyond their simple implementation.

Note: For a video guide, see the recorded webinar “The What, Why, and How of ExamSoft’s Most Powerful Tool, Categories!” on ExamSoft’s Training Webinars page.
