Logging into WISEflow:

Links to access your exam are usually at anytime before an exam is set to sit. The link will be sent to your university email address (firstname.surname@study.beds.ac.uk).

Sometimes these emails will be picked up by the SPAM detector so remember to check your junk folder.

You can still access your exam by logging into WISEflow directly.

Follow these steps:

1. Type into google europe.wiseflow.net/login
2. Click “search for your institution” and type in 'Bed' for Bedfordshire.
3. Click the Microsoft button and log in with your university email address (firstname.surname@study.beds.ac.uk).
4. Your password will be the same as the one you use to access BREO. If you have forgotten your password, you will need to perform a Password Reset

If you encounter any issues with resetting your password, please contact the SiD Team at sid@beds.ac.uk or call 0300 300 0042 to reset your account before your exam.

Once you've logged in:

Once you're logged into WISEflow you can familiarise yourself with the system.

In WISEflow all students who are taking an examination are called a participant.

Head over to the participant tab, where you can see all your active exam flows.

In WISEflow all exams are called 'flows'.

When the flow is "open for participation, you can click on the flow and engage with your examination. Please take note of when your exam will end and ensure you follow the submission process and submit your exam paper before the exam end time.

If you require any assistance:

• Online Remote exams: Please contact the exams team at exams@beds.ac.uk during your examination, not afterward the exam has ended.
• On-campus exams: Raise your hand and alert an invigilator.

Before the examination period, the exam team sends out practice exams to all participants. We recommend engaging with these practice exams to become familiar with the digital examination platform.

• FLOWassign: Used for exams where participants submit a PDF file. 
• FLOWlock: On-site exams conducted in a secure browser environment, preventing access to external aids. It can also be used without the secure browser lock, allowing students to type their exam answers directly within the WISEflow in-app editor.
• FLOWmulti: Multiple-choice tests that can be conducted with or without the secure browser.
