What's new in Examplary

When Examplary AI creates a test or a new question, it now picks the kind of scoring rubric that actually fits each question — instead of a single flat list of points.

An essay gets an analytical rubric, with several criteria that are each scored across performance levels like "Poor" through to "Excellent". A short open question can get a holistic rubric that judges the answer as a whole, and a vocabulary question gets a fixed list of answers that must match exactly. Straightforward questions still get a simple points rubric, just as before.

Because the AI grades open answers against these rubrics too, marking is more consistent and easier to explain to your students — and you can fine-tune any rubric it produces, exactly like one you built yourself.

You can already organize your tests into folders. Now you can share an entire folder with colleagues or groups, and everything inside it is shared automatically.

Every test and practice space in a shared folder inherits the folder's access, so you no longer have to invite people to each item one by one. Add a new test to the folder later and the same people can see it right away.

Pick the role each person or group gets - viewer, editor or manager - just like when sharing a single test. You can still share individual items on top of what they already inherit from the folder.

Open the menu on any folder and choose "Share…" to get started. Shared folders show an icon so you can tell at a glance what your team can access, and we'll warn you before you move a test out of a shared folder in case someone would lose access.

We are now integrated with Schoolyear, which allows creating a safe and secure environment for students to take assessments. This is similar to Safe Exam Browser, but with the added benefits of being able to use it on Chromebooks, having a live dashboard to monitor students, and much more configuration options. You can read more about it in our Schoolyear integration guide.

This release also adds the ability to set a start and end date for a test, allowing you to decide when students can access it.

Also in this release:

• More consistent custom links for tests and practice spaces
• New onboarding videos for Dutch teachers
• Improvements to audit logging, with more authentication events being logged
• New ways for custom question types to automatically grade answers
