Can anyone suggest a decent reading/writing software package that isnt just a plug in app but a package that can be installed and used with the internet disconnected that we can use for students taking thier GCSE exams? The Readwrite for Chrome kit from Texthelp we currently have doesn't really suit examination conditions. cheers

You cant use it in exams as it stands . that's a major drawback..we've been caught out by this one

Fast forward to 2021 Exactly the same issue. We were hoping to use the readwrite software in exams as a substitute for having to constantly replace expensive readerpens. The issue is of course with no intenet access allowed. My recent guideline from JCQ is as follows "The key principle is that the candidate when using the laptop cannot access functions such as e-mail, cannot access any drives containing notes, class work and does not have access to the Internet to search for information during an examination." We are looking at the kiosk option as a solution to uploading exam papers for students to access on the day. The issue with Read/write is the apparent need for internet access to run. has anyone got around this major stumbling block to TEXTHelps claim that readwrite is great for exams JCQ approved? The students will be theoretically using their chrome books to "Read" the document on which they will login using specific Exam accounts that are locked down. Has anyone had any real success using this program?

As a new Exams officer, i'm planning on setting up our system so students (for the core subjects anyway) are always i the same room/seat for all the different components. Is there a way of copying/cloning the existing seating plans from 1 component to the other or do I have to set each one up individually?
