How to access Inspera
Inspera is our online exams platform which you can access at https://assessment.bath.ac.uk/. You'll need your University of Bath username and password (Single Sign-On details). Please also make a note of your candidate number, in case you need to contact the helpline during the exam period. You can find your candidate number via SAMIS under 'Student Tasks'.
What you'll see when you log in
You'll see three tabs:
- My Tests - this is where each of your exams will be listed, closer to the time they are due to take place
- Archive - in the future, this is where you'll see a list of the exams you've taken
- Demo tests - this is where you'll get a chance to practice before the real exam
Don’t worry if you can’t see all of your exams listed on your Inspera dashboard straight away. Exams for each unit will begin to appear gradually over the course of December and January, and you should see your exam listed 72 hours prior to it starting.
