How to run online mock tests that feel like the real exam

Set up timed mock tests with negative marking, a live window, results and leaderboards for entrance and Lok Sewa preparation.

Build a question bank first

Write each question once with its options, the correct answer, marks, negative marks and an explanation. Tag it by subject and difficulty. Import from Word, Excel or a ZIP with images instead of typing.

Set the test like the exam

Match the real exam: the same duration, number of questions, marks per question and negative marking. Open the test at a fixed time and close it at a fixed time, so everyone sits it together.

  1. Create the test with duration, opening and closing time.
  2. Add questions from the bank in order.
  3. Set the result date and pass mark.
  4. Place it in a course chapter and show it on the app's home screen.

During the test

Watch who is taking it in real time and how much time each has left. Extend the closing time if something goes wrong.

After the test

Release results at the result date with each student's score, correct, wrong and skipped answers, and the solution to every question. A leaderboard gives students a reason to sit the next one.
