Exams

The online-exam list and the full Create-Exam builder — every Settings field, scheduling option and proctoring toggle, plus the live monitor.

What this screen shows

The Exams tab lists every online exam with its schedule window, status (draft, published, active, completed), attempt count and proctoring state. You can switch between Grid, List and Calendar views, filter by status tab, search, and organise exams into folders. Each card carries quick actions — open, edit, assign, duplicate, results and (while an exam runs) the live monitor. Students see only the exams assigned to them, with a Start button when the window is open.

Choosing the scope (before the builder)

New exam does not drop you straight into the builder. It opens the scope screen first — the same screen Paper Canva, Rank Booster and OMR now use — where you say exactly which syllabus this exam is drawn from. Everything after that obeys your answer: in the builder, the question library and the Random / Blueprint auto-pick all draw from the chapters you ticked and nothing else, so you cannot accidentally put a Class 11 question into a Class 12 paper. The screen has two parts. At the top, Board, Class and Subjects (you may pick more than one subject) plus a Search chapters box. Below that, a Chapters panel lists the chapters for each subject you chose, each with the number of questions available in the bank shown in brackets — a chapter with none is greyed out and cannot be ticked.

Click New exam. Pick a Board, then a Class, then one or more Subjects — each choice narrows the next. The chapter list appears underneath as soon as a subject is chosen.

The exam scope screen with Board, Class and Subjects selectors above a grid of chapter cards

Board → Class → Subjects, then the chapters. The number beside each chapter is how many questions the bank holds for it.

Tick the chapters this exam covers. Select all takes the whole list (its bracketed figure is the total questions you would be picking up); the Search chapters box filters the grid while leaving anything you have already ticked ticked.

Want to mix syllabuses? Click Add another scope and fill in a second Board / Class / Subjects block — for example CBSE Class 12 Mathematics in the first block and JEE Main Mathematics in the second. You can stack up to four blocks, and each has its own Collapse and Remove controls.

Two stacked scope blocks — CBSE Class 12 Mathematics and JEE Main Mathematics — with the Add another scope button beneath

Add another scope stacks a second board/class block, so one exam can draw from two syllabuses at once.

Need only part of a chapter? Click the small chevron on a chapter card to open its topic checklist and tick just the topics you want. The chapter checkbox turns into a dash to show it is partly selected, and its count reads like "12 of 40".

Expand a chapter to narrow it to specific topics — only the ticked topics come through into the exam.

Check the summary line along the bottom — it counts your scopes, subjects, chapters, topics and the questions in scope — then click Continue to exam builder.

Required. Only boards your organisation has been granted are listed. If it is empty, ask your admin for subject access.

Required, and unlocked once a board is chosen (until then it reads "Pick a board first").

Required. Pick several to build a multi-subject exam — each gets its own chapter list, headed by the subject name and a "picked / total" count.

Filters the chapter grid as you type. It is only a view filter: chapters you already ticked stay ticked even while hidden, and Select all then applies to the chapters currently visible.

Tick to include the whole chapter. The bracketed number is how many questions the bank has for it; chapters with none are dimmed and unpickable ("No questions yet").

The chevron on a chapter card opens its topic checklist — each topic with its own question count. Tick a few and the chapter is narrowed: only those topics are in scope, the checkbox shows a dash instead of a tick, and the count reads "12 of 40". Untick every topic and you are back to the whole chapter.

Topics with nothing in the bank are left out of the checklist entirely. If a chapter has none at all you see "No topics with questions in this chapter." — tick the chapter as a whole instead.

Select all / Deselect all

Takes or clears every visible chapter in that list. The figure beside it is the total questions in those chapters, so you can size the pool before you commit.
