It is of note that the electronic-based exams are specific exams that contain a time limit and is subject to supervision, which is conducted using a computer for each of the examinees with a unified operating system. These exams are distinguished from paper exams. They sometimes include multimedia, simulation systems, and software test items that give more validity to the exam.

Certain electronic exam programs work using question banks that are designed by faculty staff that sets each exam question at random for each student. Some programs offer the option of selecting questions for the teacher, as desired. In this way, each student gets a set of random questions to prevent cheating. The electronic exams are located in the field of electronic assessments, where students present their achievements using the computer. From this broad perspective, electronic exams make special use of technology.
Autosave feature is one of the common features of electronic exams, and it ranges from 10 seconds to 2 minutes that some programs that have been released offered such features for examinations.
