The detail behind each step
Every setting below is configurable per assessment, so a weekly quiz and a scholarship test can live side by side with different rules.

- 2Add questionsPick from the question bank, import a Word file, digitise a printed paper, or generate with AI from your material. Set marks, negative marking, cutoffs and order per section.
- 3Choose who takes itAssign batches or individuals, or open a public registration page with your own form, a registration window and OTP verification.
- 4Set the rulesTimers per test, section or question; auto-submit; section switching; full screen and tab-switch limits; camera proctoring with your violation limit.
