Keep what works about paper. Fix everything around it.
Paper exams are trusted for good reasons. The pain is everything around them: typing papers, checking stacks of copies, building mark sheets and finding out what went wrong. Here's the comparison.
| What matters | Examezy | Paper + spreadsheets |
|---|---|---|
| Setting the paper | Question bank, Word import, AI generation from your books | Typed from scratch in Word |
| Multiple sets | Shuffled sets and answer key exported automatically | Made by hand, error-prone |
| Checking copies | On-screen marking with pen tools, or AI-drafted marks | Hours per teacher per exam |
| Consistency | One rubric per question applied to every copy | Varies by teacher and by hour |
| Mark sheet and rank list | Automatic, with percentile | Typed into Excel, formulas maintained by hand |
| Student feedback | Report PDF, checked copy, question-wise review | A number on the copy |
| Class insight | Question insights and AI class diagnostic | Rarely done |

Stick with Paper + spreadsheets when…
- Very small classes where checking takes minutes
- No scanner or phone-scanning available
Move to Examezy when…
- Copies take more than an evening to check
- You want ranks, reports and insight without Excel
- You run online tests too and want one result history
Paper doesn't have to go
Examezy is built for paper exams as much as online ones: print the paper in sets, scan the copies, check them on screen or with AI.
Where the hours go
For most teachers the expensive part isn't the exam; it's the checking and the mark sheet afterwards. That's where Examezy saves the time.
Questions
Do we need special scanners?+
No. Any scanner or phone scanning app that produces PDFs works.
Does Examezy read OMR sheets?+
No. Examezy checks written answer sheets; it doesn't scan OMR bubble sheets.
