From content to a scheduled exam.

A two-layer model — reusable blueprint, executable instance — so running the same exam next term is configuration, not a project.

01

Library versus assessment

An Assessment Library is the reusable blueprint: sections, pinned questions, pools, blueprint generation, duration and passing criteria. An Assessment is the executable instance built from it — scheduled, assigned and published. That separation is what makes reuse possible.

Building the paperA blueprint draws a fixed number of questions from a pool into a section. The draw happens once, when the paper is authored — not per candidate.PooldrawsSectionDrawn once, at authoring
02

Scheduling and availability

A fixed window everyone shares, a window per candidate, or always open. Timezone-aware, with max attempts, cooldown between attempts, and a best-score policy of highest, latest or average.

The availability windowThree availability modes on one timeline. Fixed: one continuous window that every candidate shares, with the same start and the same end. Per candidate: three separate windows, staggered, each the same length. Always open: a window with no closing edge, used for practice and retakes.When it is openFixedPer candidateAlways

Access and invitations

Invite only, candidate login required, or a public link. Notifications by email or SMS, with invitation, reminder and completion messages controlled independently.

Publish freezes the paper

Publishing snapshots the questions, options, answer keys, translations and settings. Later edits to the bank never alter a paper someone has already sat — which is the answer to the only question that matters in a dispute.
