Multi-Session Exam - One exam, multiple sessions, no more hassle (Beta)

After over a year of feedback-driven iterations, we are thrilled to finally launch Multi-Session Exams in Public Beta! 🚀 🎊

We know how challenging it can be to manage exams across multiple time slots.

Whether you’re handling different cohorts or a single group with flexible schedules, working alone or with a team of Lecturers & Teaching Assistants, having to duplicate exams, split results, and merge exports complicates everything and keeps you from focusing on what really matters.

With Multi-Session Exams, you can now manage and coordinate multiple sessions within the same exam — no duplication needed.
All with a centralized view of results. 🙌


🚀 What this changes for you

🔹 One Exam, Multiple Sessions

  • Create multiple sessions (scheduled or manually opened) without duplicating the exam.

  • Assign students to specific sessions to control access, prevent double attempts, and avoid exam leaks.

  • Allow students to choose from multiple available sessions.

🔹 Optimized Student & Session Management

  • Session-specific invitations: Each student receives their exam link and schedule via email.

  • Flexible control: You or your teaching assistants can manage sessions independently and in parallel.

🔹 Unified Result Tracking

  • All grades centralized in one dashboard – easily filter by group or session.

  • No more manual exports & merges – grades & statistics cover all sessions automatically.


🔥 Use Cases

1️⃣ Managing multiple cohorts → 100 students across three time slots? No need to duplicate the exam three times. Simply create one exam and assign the three cohorts to their corresponding sessions.

  • In-person: You or your assistants can open sessions manually.

  • Remote: Sessions open and close automatically.

2️⃣ Letting students choose their time slot → Offer multiple slots and let students select the one that suits them, while keeping all grades centralized.

3️⃣ Easier makeup sessions → A student missed the exam? Add them to a new session within the same exam — no need to reconfigure anything. Their score remains in the same gradebook.

Thanks to sessions, I save at least an hour per week on configuration and manual grade processing for my students’ weekly assessments.

And I have twice less stress when last-minute changes are needed, since I no longer have to update multiple duplicated exams!”
