Exam boards are trialling digital mock exams with students across the world, The Independent reports.
Students will be offered GCSE computer science, IGCSEs in English and AS-level history under the OCR and Cambridge International exam boards.
The trials will run in weekly sessions until March 19 and will be based on real exam papers and marked by Cambridge examiners, the exam board said.
Schools will pay about £10 for each digital exam while students will receive their results within two weeks.
Cambridge University Press & Assessment said it is trialling the digital tests in up to 30 UK schools and 35 around the world.
Its assessment experts believe digital exams will become a permanent part of the exam system for GCSEs, IGCSEs and A-levels – and it wants to offer digital mock exams to all schools after the trials.
Exam board Edexcel, run by Pearson, said it has similar plans for digital exams, while AQA has also been conducting digital assessment pilots.
Jill Duffy, chief executive of OCR, said: “Digital assessment is not a hypothetical future, it’s happening right now.
“We will use insights from these trials to make our digital mocks a user-friendly option for all schools and colleges.”
