Question 4 of 12
Which oxide is most responsible for lowering the melting point of a stoneware glaze?
Your answer
The exam hall
When a student starts an exam, the storefront falls away and a focused split-screen hall takes over — the question on the left, the answer space on the right. Nothing to wander off into, nothing to lose their place in.
Question 7 of 12
Put the steps of bisque firing in the correct order, from first to last.

Question types
Quizzes and exams share the same seven auto-graded question types. Set the answer once and it scores itself — at any volume, day or night.
One correct answer from a list of options. The classic for quick, unambiguous recall.
A two-way decision. Fast to answer and ideal for testing a single fact or principle.
More than one right answer. The student picks every option that applies — and must get them all.
A typed word or phrase, matched against the answers you accept. Great for terms and definitions.
A number answer with a tolerance band you define — so a rounded or close result still counts as correct.
Arrange items into the right sequence. Perfect for processes, steps, and timelines.
Pair items from one column to the right partner in another. Ideal for terms-to-definitions.
Scoring is per-question, correct or incorrect — there's no weighted or partial credit, so grading stays consistent and easy to explain to students.
Quizzes & assignments
The final exam is one decisive test. Before it, the same engine runs quick quizzes after each lesson and graded assignments in between.
Attach a quiz to any lesson and check the idea while it's fresh. Set a passing score, cap the attempts, and require a pass before the lesson counts as complete — or keep it low-stakes.
Quizzes belong to lessons; the course-level test is the final exam. See courses.
Set written work with a real due date. Students submit in the portal, you grade with written feedback, and an email tells them the moment it's marked.
Human grading for the work an answer key can't score.
One decisive, course-level test at the end of the journey. Passing it can complete the course — and unlock the certificate your students are working toward.
A pass can gate the certificate. Explore certificates.
Graded assignments
Multiple choice can't judge a brushstroke. Assignments put a teacher back in the loop: the student writes, you read and grade, and an email tells them the moment it's done.

Rules & integrity
You decide how an exam behaves — how long it runs, how many questions it draws, and what counts as a pass. The defaults are sensible; everything is yours to change.
Put the exam on the clock. The live countdown survives a page reload — refreshing never pauses the timer — and when time runs out the sitting closes and counts as an attempt.
Build a larger bank and have each attempt draw a different subset of questions. Two students rarely see the same paper, which keeps repeat attempts honest.
Set the bar to pass — the default is 70% — and, if you want, cap how many attempts a student gets. The pass line drives certificates and course completion.
Exams return the score, but never expose a per-question answer key to the student. That's intentional: it protects your question bank from being copied across attempts — and it's a real exam, not a study sheet.
Sell them two ways
Use an exam wherever it fits your business. The same exam engine works inside a course or out on its own.
Add an exam as the final step of a course. Students work through the lessons, then sit the exam to prove they're ready — and a pass can unlock a certificate.
A course exam is the course's final exam — one decisive test at the end of the journey. See courses.
Give an exam a price and it becomes its own Shopify product, sold through your normal checkout — a certification test with no course attached. Each purchase grants a bundle of attempts.
Listed and sold like any other product. See how it sells.
Each purchase grants a set number of attempts. When a student runs out, a "Buy another attempt" button puts them one checkout away from trying again — failing isn't the end of the road, and every retake is revenue through your normal Shopify checkout.
Free until you sell. 5% after. Never more than $29 a month. See pricing.
