What's New

Built for organizations and the teachers who run testing.

Two recent updates make it easier to share credits across a school and put teachers in control of their own student sessions.

New

Team management for organizations

Organization owners can now invite a team of teachers, control who administers tests, view results across the org, and distribute bulk-purchased credits to the teachers who need them.

  • Invite and manage teacher accounts
  • Allocate credits from a shared pool
  • See results across every teacher
New

Custom test links for teachers

Teachers can generate their own custom URLs to send students straight into the right assessment — no logins to juggle and no lost class time.

  • One link per class or assessment
  • Share by email, LMS, or QR code
  • Results land in the teacher's account automatically
