Abstract

We developed a mixed-integer linear programming model to plan exam sessions for external candidates in the Vestfold region, Norway. With our model, the administration planned the last session of 2018, the two sessions of 2019, and the first session of 2020. The plans produced are of high quality and saved three weeks of person effort per session.
