⏱️RM Compare | NOW (BETA)
Test your judgement against a trusted standard in minutes
⏱️RM Compare | NOW is an on‑demand comparative judgement experience that lets you assess an Item against an established standard. The standard is called a ruler and is sourced from a rank created in 💻RM Compare | Studio.
⏱️NOW uses the same Adaptive Comparative Judgement engine as 📳RM Compare | Live, but is delivered as a standalone, no‑login experience designed for short Assessment‑as‑Learning sessions. Capture or upload an Item, estimate its quality, complete a few quick comparisons, and immediately see how closely your judgement aligns with the standard.
Getting started
The easiest way to get started is to use the QR code or follow the link you have been given. The intuitive interface will guide you through three steps:
- Estimate – you give your initial estimate of the quality of your Item.
- Compare – you compare your Item with Items drawn from the standard.
- Reveal – you see where your Item lands on the standard and how accurate your estimate was.
Your results are available after a small number of judgements, typically around five.
BETA?
⏱️RM Compare | NOW is currently in BETA. It is stable and has been thoroughly tested, but we are still learning from how people use it in different contexts. If you have issues or comments to share, please get in touch with the RM Compare team.
We cannot yet confirm when ⏱️NOW will move from BETA into full production. Updates will be shared on the RM Compare website and blog.
