    What's new in Examplary

    Every new feature, improvement, and fix we ship, in chronological order.

    1. Upload PDFs of student answers

      You can now upload a PDF of handwritten or scanned student answers directly from the results page. Examplary automatically matches each page to the right student and question, so you can start grading straight away.

      This makes it much easier to grade paper-based tests, allowing you to scan in bulk, rather than taking a photo of each page with your phone.

    2. Introducing Practice Spaces

      Introducing Practice Spaces

      Practice spaces are now available to every Examplary user. After a few months in beta, we've opened them up to all accounts.

      Practice spaces let your students work through a subject at their own pace. Examplary generates questions from the source materials you provide and adapts them based on each student's progress.

      Use it for homework, exam preparation, or any time you want students to build mastery without the pressure of a test.

    3. Track student progress in practice spaces

      Practice spaces now include built-in progress tracking for teachers. When you open a student's activity, you'll see a proficiency label and a progress bar showing how their performance has developed from their baseline — so you can spot improvements and identify where a student might need more support.

      The practice history also shows the correct answer alongside each of the student's responses, making it easy to review what they've mastered and where they're still struggling.

      You can configure how proficiency is calculated in the practice space settings.

    4. Scan handwritten answers with your phone

      For paper-based tests, you can now scan student answers using your phone. Take a photo of each page, crop the answer area, and Examplary will read the handwriting for you.

      Scanned answers flow straight into the normal results view, so you can review, adjust, and grade them just like any online answer.

    5. Redesigned overview of your tests

      The exams overview has been redesigned to show more at a glance: who you've shared each test with, how many students have started, and whether the test is still a draft.

      Sharing and filtering have their own indicators, so you can quickly find the test you're looking for. You can now also filter on any custom fields your organization has set up.

    6. Create a practice space from an existing test

      You can now convert any test into a practice space in one go. Open the options menu (⋯) on any test in your overview and choose Create practice space... — the new practice space will be pre-filled with the test's name, subject, and source materials, and the test questions will be added as source material for the AI to use.

      This makes it easy to turn a test you've already built into a tool for ongoing practice and exam preparation.

    7. A new home page for students

      Students now have a dedicated home page when they sign in to Examplary. They'll see their current practice spaces and upcoming tests, filtered so they only see what applies to them.

      This replaces the old link-only flow, and makes it easier for students to find their way back to work they've already started.

    8. Custom branding for your school

      You can now upload your school or organization's logo and colours to make the Examplary experience feel more familiar for your students and teachers.

      This feature is available on our Enterprise plan.

    9. Build your own scoring rubrics

      We've rebuilt the rubric editor from the ground up. You can now define multiple criteria per question, each with its own levels and points, and the AI uses that rubric when it grades open answers.

      Similarly, you can ask Examplary AI to create a rubric for you based on the question you've created, and any other instructions or uploaded documents.

      This gives you much finer control over how open questions are scored, and makes grading more transparent for your students.

    10. Export your tests in QTI 3 format

      We’ve added a new export method: QTI 3.

      This is the latest international standard for exchanging tests and questions. You can now export your created tests and easily import them into any other learning platform that supports QTI 3.
