- Enter your unit and topics. Both are required. List every topic the exam should sample, one per line. The questions are spread across them, with the most marks on the most important content.
- Describe the exam. Give it a name (it defaults to “Final examination”), choose the conditions (closed book, open book, online or take-home), list any permitted materials, and set the time allowed and reading time.
- Choose your questions and marks. Set the total marks and how many questions of each type you want: multiple choice (1 mark each), short answer, extended response and scenario-based (a case with three or four parts). The line under the counts shows the number of questions, marks and minutes as you go. Marks are shared out for you so the paper always adds up, and you can change any of them later.
- Set the level, difficulty and answer space. Pick the level and discipline, choose balanced (easy to hard), foundational or challenging difficulty, and say whether students write on lines on the paper or in a separate answer booklet.
- Add your learning outcomes and material (optional). Under more options, add your learning outcomes so every question is tagged to one, and paste source material, such as lecture notes or a reading list, so the questions follow what you actually taught. You can also add notes about your students and anything else the paper should know.
- Create the paper. Choose “Create exam paper”. The paper is planned first, then written section by section while you watch. You’re charged once, only when the whole paper is finished. If something goes wrong partway, you aren’t charged, and “Finish writing” picks up where it stopped.
- Check all three views. Exam paper shows exactly what students will see, from the cover page to the answer lines. Marking guide gives the multiple-choice answer key, a model answer and marking points for every written question, and notes for examiners. Blueprint lists every question with its marks, topic, learning outcome, Bloom level and difficulty, with tables showing how the paper is balanced.
- Rewrite or edit. Choose “Rewrite this question” under any question to have it written again, with an optional note such as “make it harder” or “focus on renal dosing”. The price is on the button. “Edit” lets you change any instruction, question, option, answer or marking point by hand, and add, delete or reorder questions, for free.
- Download it. Word: paper and Word: marking guide give you editable documents. Print / PDF opens print-ready pages of either. MCQs for Moodle (GIFT) downloads the multiple-choice questions to import into a Moodle quiz, and Copy paper text copies the paper as plain text.
- Build on it. From a finished paper you can build a feedback comment bank for marking the written answers, or make a revision mind map for students. Each is priced on its own button, and none of them gives away the exam’s own questions. Every paper is saved to “My Exams” and to “Everything You’ve Generated” on your User Hub.
Every action’s credit cost is shown on its own button before you commit to it. Nothing is charged silently.
Keep your paper secure. Your exam is saved to your own account only and is never shown to anyone else. Download it, then store and share it the way your institution handles exam papers.
