Guardian Exam builds a civil-service promotional examination from the material your agency actually tests on, runs it for your candidates, and gives the board what it needs to certify a result and defend it afterwards.
Promotional processes are scrutinised — by candidates, by unions, sometimes by counsel. What matters months later is whether the agency can show how the exam was built, how it was administered, what was changed and why. Guardian Exam keeps that record as a by-product of running the test.
Build the examination from the policies, statutes and texts your agency has decided the rank should be tested on — not a generic national bank.
Organise an examination into the areas you promote against, so results can be read section by section rather than as one opaque score.
Candidates sit the examination through a controlled runner rather than an emailed document.
Give the board its own tier of access — the authority to redact a question and certify the result is deliberately separate from the authority to build and run the exam.
When a question does not survive review, redact it and keep the reason. The examination record shows what changed instead of quietly replacing it.
Export the certified result together with the record behind it, for the file, for the board, or for whoever asks later.
Assemble the examination from your agency’s own source material, section by section.
Candidates sit the examination through the proctored runner.
The Exam Board reviews flagged items and redacts anything that should not stand, with the reason recorded.
The board certifies the result and exports it with the record that supports it.
It drafts from the material your agency supplies and decides to test on. What is asked, what counts, and what survives board review stay agency decisions.
Certification sits with the Exam Board and is a separate, higher permission than building or running an examination — the same create-versus-certify separation used across the Guardian platform.
An authorised board member can redact it, with the reason retained. The examination keeps its history rather than being silently rewritten.
Yes — that is the intended path. The examination is built from the policies, statutes and texts your agency already tests against.
No. Guardian Exam is the instrument your process runs on. Eligibility, weighting, scoring rules and appeals remain governed by your agency and its civil-service authority.
