An exam credit is the unit Eklavvya uses to price online exams.
One exam credit equals one candidate attempting one exam.
Credits are not tied to a subject, department or exam type, so one pool covers everything you run.

🧮 Exam Credit Examples
| Scenario | Calculation | Credits used |
|---|---|---|
| 100 candidates sit 1 exam | 100 x 1 | 100 |
| 500 candidates sit 2 exams | 500 x 2 | 1,000 |
| 1,000 candidates sit 1 exam | 1,000 x 1 | 1,000 |
| 3,000 students sit 4 papers in each of 2 semesters | 3,000 x 8 | 24,000 |
So 1,000 credits can mean 1,000 candidates sitting one exam each, or 500 candidates sitting two.
