Online exam maker

The online exam maker for real exams, not forms.

How it works

Set, sit and mark an exam in three steps

  1. 01

    Build the paper

    Write questions across nine types or draft them from your material, assign points, add a marking guide.

  2. 02

    Set the conditions

    Open a run with a time limit, deadline, single attempt and access code, plus verified email if identity matters.

  3. 03

    Invigilate and mark

    Follow the run live, grant an extension where it's warranted, then mark long answers to one guide.

Conditions you can defend

The clock doesn't reset when the tab does

A refreshed tab or lost connection never resets the clock. Shuffle question and answer order so no two people see the same paper.

  • Timers, deadlines and attempt limits
  • Question and answer-order shuffling per participant
  • One attempt, or a set number you decide
How access control works →
Watch the room

See who has started, finished or stalled

Live monitoring shows each attempt as it happens, so you can spot someone who never began or ran out of time.

  • Live view of every attempt in the run
  • Per-participant extra-time multipliers
  • Extensions granted mid-run, not restarts

Marking that holds up

Grade every script to one standard

Objective questions grade themselves. Long answers queue with a marking guide frozen for the run, so every candidate is judged the same way.

  • Auto-grading for all objective question types
  • Frozen marking guide across the whole run
  • Score overrides kept on an auditable record

Built for higher stakes

The details that make an exam trustworthy

Verified email identity

Choose anonymous, name-only or verified email per run. No participant accounts required.

Honest about anti-cheat

Deterrence through shuffling, timers, codes and attempt limits. No webcam or browser lockdown.

Corrections after the fact

Exclude a flawed question, award credit or accept another answer; affected scripts regrade automatically.

Extra time, built in

Give a candidate a 1.25× or 1.5× multiplier, or a one-off extension mid-run.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is the online exam maker free?

Yes. The free plan covers 75 responses a month with timers, access codes, shuffling and the full dashboard. Paid plans add volume and team seats, billed by responses rather than features.

Is this an exam builder or an exam delivery tool?

Both. The builder covers writing and drafting questions across nine types; delivery adds runs, access rules, live monitoring and grading, so one tool takes the exam from draft to results.

Can candidates cheat their way past the timer?

No. Refreshing or reopening the tab won't buy extra time, attempts are capped and questions shuffled. This is deterrence, not surveillance: no webcam, screen recording or browser lockdown.

Do candidates need to create an account?

No. They open the link or enter the access code and begin; for a formal exam, require a verified email so each attempt ties to a real person, with no TestSetGo signup.

Can I give someone extra time for access needs?

Yes. Set a per-participant time multiplier before the run or grant a one-off extension while it's live, and neither affects any other candidate's clock.

How are long-answer questions marked?

They go to a manual grading queue with a marking guide fixed for the run, so every candidate is judged consistently. You can override any auto-graded score too, with every change on an audit trail.

Can I reuse one exam for several sittings?

Yes. Each exam can run many times, and every run gets its own window, code, settings and results, so sittings never mix.
