Exam Studio

Build an exam, share a link, and get graded results back without either side needing an account.

What it does

Build an exam, publish it as a link, and let people take it in a browser with no account on either side. Answers are graded automatically and you get the results.

Question types cover multiple choice, multiple answer, true or false, short answer and cloze. Maths and figures render properly, so this handles subjects where the question is a diagram rather than a sentence.

More detail

This is the one tool that collects other people's data

Worth being plain about, because everything else here is client-side. When you publish an exam with result collection on, each submission stores the name the taker typed, an optional class, their answers, their score, how long they took, and a truncated hash of their IP address used to spot duplicate attempts.

You are the one collecting that, and you are responsible for having permission to. If your takers are children, that permission is not yours to give.

Submissions are kept for 90 days and then deleted. Leaderboard entries last 7 days from the most recent submission to that exam. Turning the leaderboard on makes names and scores visible to everyone holding the link.

Drafts, ownership and recovery

Exams you are writing are saved in your browser's local storage, not on a server, so they survive a refresh but not clearing your site data.

When you publish, you get an owner link that opens the results. That link is the only credential there is - there is no password to reset and no account to log into. Save it somewhere. It is also why that page is kept out of search engines entirely.

How grading works

Multiple choice, multiple answer, true or false and cloze are graded by exact match against the answer key, so they are deterministic. Short answer is matched against the accepted answers you provide, which means the quality of that grading is the quality of your list: if you accept only one spelling, a correct answer spelled differently is marked wrong.

Review short-answer results before treating a score as final.

Questions

Do my students need an account?

No. They open the link, type a name, and take the exam. Nobody signs up, including you.

How long are results kept?

Submissions for 90 days, then they are deleted. Leaderboard entries for 7 days after the last submission to that exam. Export anything you need to keep.

I lost the link to my results. Can I get it back?

Only if the browser you published from still has its local storage, which is where owner links are kept. There is no account to recover from and no password to reset, so save the link somewhere durable when you publish.

Can students see each other's scores?

Only if you turn the leaderboard on, which makes names and scores visible to anyone with the link. It is off unless you enable it.

Is short-answer grading reliable?

It is exact matching against the accepted answers you supply, not judgement. Add every reasonable spelling and phrasing, and check the short-answer results by hand before publishing a final mark.
