When we first set up CBAs in i-Assess we had 'practice' mode and 'exam' mode. At some point it was decided by some committee that 'exam' was not an appropriate word to use, and so we changed to 'assessed' mode.

The word exam appears in several places in a Numbas assignment, e.g. the 'End Exam' button, and on the summary page, 'Exam name', 'Exam start', etc. Should we consider changing the wording to something more vague, e.g. 'assignment'?

This is only relevant for the front-facing bits of Numbas, i.e. what the student sees, and not the internals.
