App Features:

- Save for later: You can save your exam for later submission. (To retake the exam, you will need to delete this saved exam).
- Guidance & help: The app includes useful information and guidance before you start the exam and has a range of information to help teachers/learners with the exam process.
- Recording safety features: You will be able to check your recording quality, that you have sufficient space available on your device and place your phone on to airplane mode for the duration of the exam recording to ensure your exam is not interrupted. You will also be able to add additional clips should your exam be interrupted.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2022-05-27, version 1.2*

Having trialled MTB by entering myself for a piano exam, I can’t wait to start entering violin pupils with this exam board! It honestly takes so much stress away. The app is very easy to use and guides you through everything. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Great app, great exam board

*2022-03-23, version 1.2*

I switched to MTB exams during the first lockdown and find the app really easy to use. It walks you through the exam process, makes a good quality recording, tells you what documents to scan in and zaps the whole thing off to the examiners. Hasn’t let me down yet, which is a big advantage over some older, more established exam boards. I’m a convert!

### 5/5 — Top notch!

*2022-03-10, version 1.2*

The MTB Record and Submit app is brilliant. It’s very easy to use and it does exactly what it’s designed to do without any fuss. The step by step guide is really helpful. Virtually impossible to do anything wrong. Recording and submitting students’ exams has never been so easy. Thank you MTB!

### 5/5 — Makes recording and submitting your MTB exam painless

*2022-03-09, version 1.2*

When taking a student through an exam there is plenty of pressure to get things right. You don’t want the recording and submitting of the exam to add to that pressure. With this app, you are guided easily through what you need to do, and all the clever stuff happens out of sight. It’s very straightforward to record the exam performance, review, add photos of any own choice pieces and then submit for marking. The submitted recordings are listed if you need to go back to them.
