## What is Evalmee for?

A selection test, a placement test, continuous assessment and a degree-awarding exam carry neither the same stakes nor the same level of monitoring. These pages start from the assessment situation and describe the Evalmee setup that fits it.

### What this section brings together

What is at stake in an exam governs everything else. It decides the level of monitoring — the CNIL, France's data protection authority, even recommends that a low-stakes exam be run without [remote proctoring](https://evalmee.com/en/assessment-glossary/#remote-proctoring) — the question formats, how fine the marking scheme has to be, how fast results are expected back, and what record has to be kept. The four pages below therefore start from the situation, not from the feature: for each one, you will find the Evalmee setup that matches it, and the reasons behind that setup.

Pick your assessment situation

### Admission and recruitment

Select candidates remotely, with fair tests and a record that holds up to challenge.

### Diagnostic and placement

Measure where a group starts, so the rest of the course can be aimed properly.

### Formative and continuous assessment

Assess often and without friction, so the mark serves progress first.

### Certification and degree exams

Hold high-stakes exams with the level of monitoring and evidence they demand.

When the exam is there to separate candidates, fairness comes first: a different paper for each one, individually adjusted [extra time](https://evalmee.com/en/assessment-glossary/#amenagements-d-epreuves-french-exam-access-arrangements), and a record of the sitting solid enough to stand up to a challenge.

When the exam is there to place a group before you start, the mark does not matter at all: what counts is reading the gaps quickly, question by question, so you can adjust the course from the first week.

When assessment comes round every week, the cost of running it becomes the real subject: reusable templates, near-immediate grading, feedback reaching the candidate while they still remember what they answered.

When a degree or a certification is at stake, the question becomes one of evidence: identity verified, exam conditions documented, [retention periods](https://evalmee.com/en/assessment-glossary/#data-retention-period) set in advance and aligned with what the CNIL recommends.

The same institution often goes through all four over the course of a year. That is exactly why it is worth setting monitoring exam by exam rather than once and for all.
