Writing and reading assistance with WordQ during a Nexam evaluation

Updated over a week ago

WordQ can only be used during an exam if:

  • it is explicitly included in your accommodation plan,

  • and its use has been approved by your institution.

If these conditions are not met, WordQ should not be used during your evaluation. Always check with your institution or coordinator before the exam.

WordQ is an assistive writing and reading tool. It suggests words, synonyms, and examples to support users during text entry. In Nexam, WordQ can be used as long as a valid license is available.
