The exam does not stop when the internet does.
SmartExaminer runs a sitting on your own server, over your own network — no public internet at any point. School management and exam preparation are built the same way: for the day the line drops and the lights go out.

Ask us the hard questions first
Everything here is designed for the day something fails.
You have seen a paper end because the line dropped or the generator coughed. These are not edge cases in Nigeria — they are the design brief. Here is one bad morning, straight from the Manager's event log.
-
What if the power cuts?
Answers, the current question and the time remaining are written as the candidate works. When the machine comes back, the candidate signs in and continues from exactly where the lights went out — same question, same clock.
-
What if the internet dies?
Nothing happens, because nothing was using it. A sitting runs on your own server, over your own LAN — no public internet is involved at any point. The connection is needed once, to activate the licence, and never during an exam.
-
What if a machine dies mid-paper?
The candidate moves to another machine, signs in again, and picks up on the question they were on with the time they had left. The desk is replaceable; the sitting is not lost.
-
What if someone signs in twice?
The second connection is refused and reported — and where machines are tagged, the Manager is told which PC tried and which one holds the live session. On wireless networks, exam starts are approved per candidate as they arrive.
None of this is a promise on a slide — it is how the software is built, and it is documented feature by feature on the SmartExaminer page.
Inspector & Manager
Every screen in the hall, on one screen.
On a subscription, the Manager watches candidate screens and webcams live, pushes a command to every client at once, and can stop the exam for one candidate or for everybody. The client refuses to be closed while a paper is running — closing the browser it started from does nothing.
- Live screens and webcams from every candidate machine
- One command pushed to every client at once
- Stop the exam for one candidate, or for the whole hall
- A candidate's registered photograph thrown onto their own screen for identity checks
- Fingerprint approval to start, through IAM
- Repeat connection attempts reported to the Manager
The moment the last paper lands
Marked before the hall empties.
Objective papers are marked on submission. Scores, per-topic analysis, graphical statistics and rank lists come out without anyone retyping a number.
- Straight into the term's records On a subscription, results hand over to SmartSkool — a school can print the term's result sheets the same day the exam was written.
- A different paper for every candidate Drawn from the same bank: randomised order, randomised options, several subjects in one sitting — so copying a neighbour copies the wrong paper.
- Questions from Word, answers to anywhere The Designer imports questions straight out of Microsoft Word with formulas, tables and images intact; results export rather than live in a silo.

Inside SmartExaminer 4
Eight applications. One installation.
Everything installs once, on the server. Candidate machines pull the client from it over the school LAN, so no desk is ever imaged, installed on or updated by hand — and the suite has run on Windows, Mac, Linux and Solaris.
Only the Manager needs a licence. The other seven applications are free.
New · examina.io
Want to hold an exam online too? That is examina.io.
SmartExaminer runs a sitting on your own server, over your own network, with no internet in the hall. When you want the exam to run online instead — candidates at home, an entrance test across several centres, a mock nobody has to travel for — examina.io does that part, from the cloud, on its own site.
On your own networkSmartExaminer
The hall version. A sitting runs on your server, over your LAN, with no public internet at any point — an exam hall that needs nothing but electricity.
- Internet needed once, to activate the licence — never during a sitting
- Client machines pull the software from your server; no per-desk installs
- Power cut? The candidate resumes on the same question, time intact
From the cloud, on its own siteexamina.io
- Nothing to install and no servers to maintain: examina.io runs entirely in the cloud, and candidates write in any browser
- Live exam proctoring, facial recognition and identity verification for candidates nobody is in the room with
- The same way of building a paper — question banks, randomisation, multiple papers — with marking, analytics and exportable reports the moment candidates finish
- Fully compatible with SmartExaminer, so a school that already runs the hall version is not starting again

SmartExaminer stays exactly what it is: an exam hall that needs nothing but electricity. Its sittings run on your local network with no public internet at any point, and that does not change. examina.io is the separate product for the exams you would rather hold online.

Ask these schools how their last exam went.
We would rather name institutions you can call than claim a round number you cannot check. These schools run their halls, their records and their results on Ratelsoft software.
A school gets SmartSkool, SmartSkool Online with the parent apps and the SmartExaminer integration for a whole term, with no obligation — long enough to run a real results cycle, which is the only honest way to evaluate a school system.
