How are exam results communicated to candidates?

• A. Results are posted on the candidate portal after 24 hours
• B. Results are provided verbally by a proctor
• C. Results are sent automatically via email upon exam submission
• D. Results are mailed via standard postal service

Answer: (C)

Results are communicated automatically via email upon exam submission. This method provides instant, verifiable notification and creates a digital record the candidate can reference later. It fits with online testing platforms, which already know the candidate’s contact details and can trigger an email without extra steps, reducing administrative work and the risk of misdelivery. A candidate portal can show results, but an email delivers the official notice right away instead of requiring the candidate to check later. Verbal delivery by a proctor is not scalable for many candidates and isn’t practical for formal records. Mailing results by postal service introduces delays and security concerns, making automatic email the fastest, most reliable option.
