Creating an Exam

Build an exam paper from your question bank and publish it to a class — with real screenshots for every step.

Back to Help Center

Exams are built from questions already in your question bank, so it helps to have a few ready first. Here's how to put a paper together.

  1. New Exam Paper dialog filled in with title, class, subject, duration and total marks
    01

    Set up the exam paper

    Go to Assessments → Exam Papers and click "New Exam". Give it a title, pick the class and subject it's for, and optionally attach it to a term. Set the duration and total marks, and add an exam date, start time or instructions if you'd like — these are all optional.

  2. Select Questions dialog showing questions from the bank with checkboxes to add to the exam
    02

    Add questions from your question bank

    Your new exam starts as a Draft with no questions. Click "Pick from Question Bank" and tick every question you want to include — Edumito shows each one's type, difficulty and marks so you can build a balanced paper, and totals the marks as you go.

  3. Exam paper detail panel showing a Published status with its questions and an Attempts button
    03

    Publish it

    Once you're happy with the questions, click "Publish" — the exam moves from Draft to Published and becomes visible to students in that class. You can still track attempts from this same panel afterwards.
