We have all heard about the how the block chain system can store recording ledgers. Well, GCSE and A Level exam results are a form of ledger and a history. So if this is simply applied to personal exam results the block chain ledger will remove the need for certificates along with a lot more.
However, this blog is about how block chain can be used for exam questions. If you have a sear vast number of exam questions within a block chain. With a randomised algorithm, exam questions can be delivered to a candidate at any one point. This would do away with the need to sit the exams at particular time. See here in a recent blog on this. If the education system can go some way of doing away with the exam season are we reducing the yoke of the highly structured school year, giving pupils the correct amount of time before they sit the exam and provide pupils who do want to move quicker they can.
The results maybe schools can actually focus on teaching the pupils in a way that suits the pupil and with the suitable length of preparation for the exam. Bringing a greater personalisation of exam taking process while improving the school system.
