I have 9 years of experience in educational administration, and while my jobs were not exactly in the examination field, I did support the UNO Test Center during a time when they needed help.
In my last job, the office I supervised was responsible for downloading the complete exam schedule from the central registry and scheduling all exams based on their needs. The variables were paper-based or computer-based, capacity, number of invigilators, and materials needed since exams were printed in-house,and disseminating all relevant information to students, exam proctors, support employees, and upper management.
