GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

English translation:exam administration site

Education / Pedagogy
German term or phrase: Prüfungsbetrieb
This stands on a document for a test: "Bereitstellungsliste für den Prüfungsbetrieb".

It's a document which lists the allowed equipment and tools the students should use during the test. I'm not sure what this whole sentence means.

Could you please help me? Thank you very much!

Explanation:
Der „Prüfungsbetrieb" ist der Ort, an dem die Prüfung abgehalten wird und muss nicht mit dem „Ausbildungsbetrieb" identisch sein (und der "Prüfungausschuss" (board) ist noch wieder etwas anderes)

https://www.stuttgart.ihk24.de/pal/Bekleidungsberufe?param=M...

Cp:
"TRAINICO ist ein von der IHK Cottbus anerkannter Prüfungsbetrieb. Ein Prüfungsbetrieb ist ein von der Kammer beauftragter Betrieb, der berechtigt ist, Prüfungen in den Berufen abzunehmen die es ausbildet. TRAINICO verfügt über vier Prüfungsausschüsse für die Berufe:
• Fluggerätelektroniker
• Fluggerätmechaniker
• Luftverkehrskaufleute
• Servicekaufleute im Luftverkehr"
http://www.trainico.de/ihk_ausbildungsbetrieb.html

My suggestion “exam (ination) administration site”
or shorter “List of materials required at the examination site”

Cp:
“Any reference materials or other documents that might be needed to respond to the situations presented will be made available to candidates at the examination site.”

maybe "preparing", "setting up", etc. but I think you would be well within your rights to simply say "the exam/examination/test"

your full context will determine whether it's an exam or a test

German tends to be a bit wordier than English, so we have to weigh up to what extent the "betrieb" bit adds anything essential or if we can just get away with "exam/examination/test"... if you think we have to put something, I would say "preparing and carrying out etc."

Items Required for Exam Setup?

Even though I don't see a meaningful distinction between"'Prüfungsbetrieb" und "Prüfbetrieb", I agree with David that it's possible to read this term as a reference to exam setup and logistics.
