Exams belong to a course (not a single lecture) and are assigned to specific students. Only students approved on one of the course's lectures are eligible to be assigned.

For tutors — creating an exam

1. Open the course and go to its Exams tab.
2. Add an exam and build it from sections of questions — multiple choice, true/false, matching, short answer, essay, or file upload.
3. Reuse questions with Import from bank, or save any question to the course's question bank for later.
4. Assign it to eligible students (only students approved on a lecture under this course appear in the list).
5. Set an optional due date and time limit, and choose auto-grading by default.
6. Save — the assigned students can now take it.

For students — taking an exam

• Open the course's Exams tab, or the Exams page from the menu, to see exams assigned to you.
• Start the exam and answer the questions; file-upload answers must be a PDF of up to 5 MB.
• Submit before the due date. Auto-graded questions are scored instantly; the rest are marked by your tutor.

Grading & parents

• Tutors open an exam's submissions to grade answers and leave a comment.
• Parents can follow their linked child's exams and grades from the Exams page.
