Evalmee introduces two new question types, single choice and true/false, along with a redesigned exam-taking interface for examinees.

Single Choice Question

You can now clearly distinguish single choice questions (SCQ) from multiple choice questions (MCQ).

This separation makes it easier to indicate the expected answer type:

• SCQ: one correct choice

• MCQ: one or more correct choices

True/False Question

A new True/False question type is available.

It makes it easier to create questions where students must confirm or refute a statement. The "true" and "false" options always keep the same order, even when random choice ordering is enabled.

Faster and more readable exam interface

The exam-taking interface has been updated to better highlight content and make navigation more comfortable.

Documents, PDFs, spreadsheet questions and diagram questions open faster. Panel resizing is also smoother.

✨ Other improvements

• Examiner home: the left sidebar is now resizable

• Live monitoring: student rows are fully clickable to open details

• Offline mode: improved reliability for loading subject images on unstable connections

🐞 Bug fixes

• Exam duplication: fixed a bug that could change tag order

• API: fixed a bug preventing access to results of certain exams opened before 2025

• Import: fixed a bug preventing Excel import of certain question banks

Start from your existing exam papers, whatever the format, powered by AI.
Word, PDF, Excel, a photo or a scanned paper exam: import your old papers into Evalmee in seconds.

Not every exam is designed for online testing from the start. Now, Evalmee analyzes your document and automatically rebuilds the exam in the editor, finding the most suitable structure: sections, exercises and questions. Perfect for recovering old papers or migrating from another tool.

The import supports:

• MCQ questions

• open-ended questions

• images, charts and illustrations

• math and chemistry formulas, automatically converted to LaTeX

A complement to existing imports. Unlike Moodle, AMC, Excel or text imports, your document doesn't need to follow a strict format. You start from what you already have, as is.

🧪 Beta: this first version is designed for exams made up of MCQ and open-ended questions. Remember to check the result after import, especially for complex documents, unusual layouts or visually dense exams.

✨ Other improvements

• Examinee home: interface update

• Proctored exams: new webcam and microphone configuration interface

🐞 Bug fixes

• Exam attempts that haven't been previously closed can no longer be reset

• Question-by-question grading: fixed a loading slowness

We've added a new scoring mode for MCQs: discordance-based scoring.

Inspired by grading methods used in medical schools and healthcare training programs, this mode introduces symmetrical treatment of correct and incorrect choices: identifying that a choice is correct and identifying that a choice is incorrect carry the same value in the assessment.

Unlike classic scoring, which only evaluates ticked choices, discordance-based scoring takes into account both ticked and unticked choices. Each gap between the expected answer and the given answer is counted as a discordance:

• an incorrect choice that was ticked;

• or a correct choice that was left unticked.

The points for the question are then calculated based on the number of discordances found.

Scoring setup

In the Configure step, select the scoring mode to apply to all MCQ/SCQ questions in the exam: Discordance-based scoring instead of Classic scoring.

Define every possible case for calculating points awarded based on:

• the number of choices in the question

• and the number of discordances found in the learner's answer

This approach lets you reproduce the main scoring scales used in medical education (PS50, PS1/n, DS, PACES, SIDES) while offering the flexibility to create your own grading rules.

Math formula editor

The math formula editor has been improved to make writing long LaTeX formulas easier, in particular with:

• a live preview of the formula displayed directly

• better handling of keyboard navigation and actions

• fixes to the import/export of Excel exams containing formulas

Search and highlight PDF attachments

We've rebuilt the PDF reader from scratch to make it faster and more reliable.

The improvements are especially noticeable when opening an exam on an older computer, or an exam with large attachment files.

We've also added 2 tools into the PDF reader to make students' work easier:

• a search function

• a text highlighter

✨ Other improvements

• Student exam: Improved answer handling when the student is offline

• Audio-video attachments:

  • playback is no longer interrupted when closing the attachments panel

  • added a warning when changing page while playback is in progress

• Extra time: it is now possible to remove extra time previously granted to a student

• PDF copy export: Added the session name to file names

• Grading criteria: Added an option to show per-criterion grading to students

🐞 Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug when resetting an exam attempt

• Fixed a bug that could display students from a previously viewed exam in the proctoring interface

• Added a safeguard preventing the grading scale from being set to an invalid value

• Fixed a bug that, under certain conditions, prevented a student with extra time from reopening the exam from the home page

• Fixed access rights allowing a grader to be assigned to a question

• Fixed the chat display on the teacher side when many conversations are open

• Calculator settings are now copied when copying settings from another exam

We’ve redesigned the exam management interface to be more modern, more readable, and better suited to teamwork.

4 things that change:

• Home focused on your recent and upcoming exams

• Team spaces clearly separated from your private space

• Search unified across exams, folders, users

• Permissions inherited by folder + new Viewer role

Home : find what you're looking for faster

The home page shows your recent, ongoing and scheduled exams. It's your new daily entry point to pick up where you left off or check what's coming up.

A new All exams page brings together every exam you have access to: private space, team spaces, direct shares.

Display them by status (draft, scheduled, ongoing, completed) or as columns to track progress at a glance.

Private space and team spaces

Two work areas, now distinct.

Private space: your personal zone. Private folders are visible only to you. You can still share an exam on a case-by-case basis.

Team spaces: built for collective work. Structure shared folders, share subfolders, give access to multiple teachers without sharing each exam one by one.

→ Learn more: Private space vs. team space

Clearer sharing

Sharing exams and folders is now simpler to understand.

New Viewer role: grant access to an exam without allowing edits. Useful for co-teachers, observers, or academic leadership.

Automatic inheritance: permissions set on a folder or team space apply to everything inside. Subfolders and exams inherit the access defined above. No more reconfiguring permissions at every level.

More roles are coming soon to extend this logic.

A more complete search

Exams, folders, users: search them all from one place.

For teachers: quickly find a student to review the exams they've taken.

For school admins: a broader view of teachers, students, and exams across your organization.

For school administrators

Search replaces the old admin dashboard. Exams, teachers, students: everything is accessible from the same interface.

Access to every team space in your organization, including ones you haven't been directly added to. A View all button shows every team space from the sidebar.

Redesigned Directory: manage teachers, students, and groups from the home page. School settings have been reorganized to appear more clearly under user settings.

We've rebuilt Evalmee. New navigation, new sharing. Cleaner, faster, more room for the content.

⚠️ If colleagues have shared exams with you, the location where they are displayed may change.

Criteria-based grading shown to examinees

When you use grading criteria, a new option lets you display points and feedback per criterion directly to examinees.

✨ Other improvements

• Import examinees by email: support for comma-separated emails

🐞 Bug fixes

• Criteria-based grading: improved display performance

We've added integrity reports to Evalmee to help you analyze exam attempts with potential cheating risks.

Previously, suspicious events were visible within the submissions. The integrity report now groups affected examinees in a dedicated space, separate from grading and results.

For each exam attempt, you can now manually flag the integrity as:

• Respected

• Not respected, if you confirm the examinee cheated

• To review, if you want to decide later

You can also add an internal note to keep a record of your decision.

Once you've made a decision for a examinee, Evalmee automatically moves to the next one. This lets you review at-risk cases faster.

New timeline

We've added a graph showing the examinee's journey through the different pages or exercises of the exam. You can now see at a glance the order in which the examinee viewed the question pages and where they spent their time.

We've also revamped the timeline:

• Similar events have been grouped

• Exits shorter than 1s are no longer displayed by default

• Time added

• You can now zoom with Ctrl + mouse wheel (or Command + wheel on Mac) and pan through the timeline by clicking

Improved analytics

We rebuilt the analytics from scratch so you have fewer cases to review manually. Notable improvements on:

• exam exits

• handling of exams opened across multiple browsers or devices

We've also improved how we handle many edge cases: use of the browser's "back" button, browsers blocking screenshots, computer shutdown during the exam, etc.

✨ Other improvements

• Support for grading criteria on spreadsheet and diagram questions

• Improved quality of the grading assistant

• Very wide tables in open-ended answers can now be scrolled

🐞 Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug in Excel question imports when a cell contained only non-printable characters

A redesign intended to free up space, make the lifecycle of an exam more readable, and lay the groundwork for what comes next. 👀

New navigation bar

The key steps appear at the top of the screen. The left menu disappears to make more space for the content.

Instant Preview

View at a glance the exam as your students see it, without leaving your interface and from any step. You can always simulate the exam completely.

The exam plan is always visible

A table of contents is always accessible during the creation of your subjects. Go to preferences from your profile to set it on the right or left of the screen.

Redesigned settings & session management

We have simplified the settings page and added a table of contents to facilitate navigation.

The session configuration has been updated to minimize the number of clicks.

Mathematical keyboard

Adding new shortcuts for mathematical and chemistry formulas.

✨ Other Improvements

• Offline exam: loading the PDF reader at the beginning of the exam

• Subject editor: added an error message if the coefficient of a question is removed

• Evaluation criteria: added an error message when creating a criterion with a duplicate code

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Subject editor: the import button is now disabled if the subject is empty and the exam is open

• Question-by-question correction: fixed the display of mathematical formulas in the question statement

• Email notification: improved reliability of updating email receipt statuses

• PDF copy export: fixed a bug that caused empty copies to be displayed for some students registered for multiple sessions of the same exam

Evaluate each submission against assessment criteria shared across all questions.

Until now, Evalmee calculated a single overall grade per submission. Now, you can define cross-cutting assessment criteria at the exam level, and each question will be graded against those criteria. The result: in addition to the overall grade, each examinee receives a grade per assessment criterion.

This is the missing piece to easily implement a competency-based approach, an RNCP assessment framework, or simply provide richer feedback to your examinees. Whether you call them criteria, competencies, learning outcomes, or skills: the principle is the same: you break down your assessment and get a grade per criterion across the entire exam.

How it works:

1. Define your assessment criteria at the exam level (e.g., Methodological rigor, Quality of analysis, Relevance of recommendations, or directly your competencies)

2. Configure each question against these criteria: choose which criteria apply, write marking instructions tailored to the question, and assign points per criterion

3. Trigger our AI grading agent: based on your rubrics and instructions, our grading agent suggests grades and feedback criterion by criterion, question by question. The AI doesn't grade "on its own", it applies your criteria, your instructions, your rubric. The more precise your instructions, the more accurate the suggestions, as if you were delegating grading to colleagues.

4. You have the final say: review, adjust if needed, then approve. Nothing is validated without your sign-off.

5. View the results: each submission displays the overall grade and the breakdown by criterion

In practice

• Competency-based assessment: define one criterion per competency and automatically get a competency grade across all questions. Ideal for evaluating proficiency levels (Achieved / Partially achieved / Not achieved)

• RNCP certification: directly produce the per-criterion grades expected by the certification panel, aligned with your assessment framework. A considerable time saver and more precise decision support for your panels.

• Enhanced pedagogical feedback: give each examinee detailed feedback per criterion, not just an overall grade. Your examinees know exactly what to improve, and your teaching teams can identify recurring weaknesses across a cohort.

MCQ rubric modification after the exam

The most requested feature is here. Until now, a poorly calibrated MCQ rubric meant Excel exports and manual recalculations to fix things.

That's over: modify your MCQ rubric at any time, even after examinees have taken the exam. Penalties too harsh, crushing everyone's grades? Rubric too generous, not reflecting the actual level? Adjust the scoring rules, and all MCQs in the exam are re-graded and grades recalculated instantly. To finally reflect the rubric you had in mind.

Exam duplication with sessions

Duplicate an exam with its sessions in one click. If you duplicate with examinees, their respective groups are now preserved as well.

✨ Other Improvements

• Email invitations: you can now set or edit the email template when sending invitations from the "examinees" page.

• Examinee tracking: improved display of "All" / "Not started" / "In progress" / "Completed" filters

• Fraud detection: browser zoom is no longer flagged as window resizing

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Exam editor: the points editor now updates immediately

• Criterion-based grading: fixed a bug that could prevent assigning 0 points to a criterion in some cases
