One year of digital teaching also means one year of digital exams. This paper will summarise some practical experiences from the perspective of the Chair of Forming and Machining Processes (FF). The main focus is on the use of the EXAM@TUD software platform available at the TU Dresden. In addition to many positive approaches, there are also some weak points in its use that still require improvement. These are to be presented here in more detail as a report of experience from approx. 60 online examinations (trial and final).
