Instant objective scoring
Choice, multiple-response, true/false and fill-in-the-blank questions grade the moment they are submitted.
Auto grading
Auto grading that starts the moment answers arrive.
Objective questions grade themselves instantly. Long answers queue against a frozen marking guide, so everyone is marked to one standard. Overrides are audited.

Self-grading questions
Objective questions grade themselves
Multiple choice, multiple response, true/false and fill-in-the-blank score the instant an answer lands. Short answers match your accepted answers, with case and spacing normalised and alternatives allowed, so a right answer typed differently still counts.
- Instant scoring for choice, true/false and fill-in-the-blank
- Short answers normalised for case and spacing
- Add accepted alternatives so near-matches still count
A fair manual queue
Long answers, marked to one standard
Long answers collect in a queue with your marking guide frozen beside them, so guidance never drifts mid-batch. Award points and move on as the remaining count falls, grading one question across everyone at once.
- Marking guide pinned beside every answer
- Save and next, with a live remaining count
- Grade one question across all participants at once
Corrections without the pain
Fix a question after people have answered
Spot a bad question after submissions and you can override a score, exclude the question, award credit or accept another answer. Affected attempts regrade automatically, and an outcome policy sets whether the latest, best or first attempt counts.
- Score overrides with a recorded reason and audit trail
- Exclude, award credit or accept an extra answer
- Latest, best or first-attempt outcome policy and pass marks
How grading works
Accurate, defensible and quick
Normalised short answers
Case and spacing are ignored, and you can list accepted alternatives.
Score overrides
Change any score by hand; the original, the change and the reason are all kept.
Regrade after a fix
Exclude a question, award credit or accept an extra answer; affected attempts recalculate automatically.
Outcome policy
Decide whether a participant's latest, best or first attempt counts.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Which question types grade automatically?
Multiple choice, multiple response, true/false, fill-in-the-blank and short answers all grade automatically. Only long answers need a person.
How does short-answer grading handle typos and variations?
It ignores capitalisation and surrounding spaces, and you can add accepted alternatives, such as a synonym or abbreviation, so answers that mean the same thing are marked the same.
Can I change a score after grading?
Yes. Any score can be overridden by hand, and TestSetGo records the original score, the new score and your reason.
What happens if I find a bad question after submissions?
Apply a correction: exclude the question, award everyone credit or accept another answer. Every affected attempt regrades automatically, and the change is kept in the audit trail.
If someone takes a test more than once, which score counts?
You choose. An outcome policy per run decides whether the latest, best or first attempt counts towards the pass mark.
Does TestSetGo use AI to grade answers?
No. Grading is rule-based: objective questions match your defined answers, and long answers are marked by a person against your guide. AI only helps draft questions, which you approve before use.
Let the grading take care of itself
Build a test, share it, and watch objective questions score themselves while long answers queue up fairly.
