Do I need an account to take a test on Testportal?
You don't need an account to take a test. However, as a respondent, you can access the test in various ways, depending on the access type chosen by the test owner.
You do NOT need an account to take a test.
Depending on the test access type (which is determined by the test owner), you need to receive either a link, an individual access code, or a group password. It is also possible to take the test as a team member in Microsoft Teams when it is shared as a new tab.
Who should register on Testportal?
Registration is required only if you want to start creating and sharing tests.
How many people can simultaneously take a test on Testportal?
By default, Testportal allows up to 1,000 respondents to take one test at the same time.
Remember, when you use the Standard, PRO, or Free EDU plan, the number of respondents for your tests is equal to the monthly limit of collected results. The Standard plan allows for up to 30 collected results, the PRO plan limit is 500, and the Free EDU plan allows for 100 results.
If the number of respondents in your test is more than 1,000, contact us via the contact form or email support@testportal.net.
How much personal data is required before taking the test?
In order to start the test, respondents usually need to provide personal data, depending on the test owner's settings.
How much personal data is required before taking the test?
If you are the test owner, you decide how much personal data is required. You can choose from available options and even create new fields, depending on your needs.
Start page and test start form
When creating the test, you will come across the Test start page in the Test Configuration section. The Test start page is nothing more than a space where you create instructions for respondents, and a Test start form. The latter will allow you to collect all necessary data from your respondents.
You can decide what data is important to you and needs to be provided by the respondents. Remember that each added field obliges the respondent to provide the appropriate data before starting the test.
You can use ready-made basic fields (such as first name and last name), add new ones from the pre-generated pool (e.g., email address, city, postal code) or add custom fields (by selecting Manage custom fields).
We also encourage you to familiarize yourself with data collection procedures available on our website in the Privacy Policy tab.
