Every exam, from first draft question to final report, in one platform your board can rely on.

Examfolio is built for organisations that run academic, professional and specialist examinations, where the result decides entry to a fellowship, completion of training or certification.

An exam for 50 candidates in one room and an exam for candidates spread across several countries run on the same platform.

Each organisation gets its own fully separated workspace. Inside it, a person can hold any combination of eight roles, and the menu shows only what those roles allow.

Examfolio connects four parts of specialist assessment. Develop the question bank, deliver the exam, protect its integrity, and learn from the results. What each exam teaches you feeds straight into the next one, so your examination programme becomes a learning system.

In practice an exam moves through seven stages. The first three happen in the question bank, the lock turns the chosen questions into a permanent exam, and the last three run from that locked record.

Questions are written, reviewed, translated and versioned in one place. Every question keeps its full history: who changed it, when, and the comment they left.

A new version never overwrites the old one. A question that has appeared in a delivered exam can only be versioned, so the record of what candidates saw stays intact.

An author tells the generator what is needed: the category, the curriculum area, the difficulty, the format, how many questions, and a topic focus. A multi-stage pipeline then drafts the questions in your organisation's measured writing style, revises them against established item-writing rules, and scores each one from 0 to 100 with a written critique.

The batch lands in a staging area. The author reads each draft with its score and critique, then edits it, discards it or accepts it into the pool.

An exam set is built by picking questions from the pool and ordering them by drag and drop, or by letting Examfolio fill it: how many questions per category, which statuses are eligible, and which earlier exams to exclude so questions are not reused.

Locking the set freezes every stem, option, image and translation into a snapshot with a cryptographic fingerprint. Questions can be edited, versioned or re-translated afterwards without touching the exam. Delivery, scoring, results and reports always use the snapshot.

An exam is created from a locked set, with a title, candidate instructions, an optional access code, a registration window and an exam window. The exam office runs registration, test centres and communication from the same workspace.

Candidates sit the exam in a browser on any device, with nothing to install. The clock runs on the server, so a changed computer clock has no effect. Questions arrive one at a time, the device never holds the whole exam, and correct answers never reach it.

No technology can make cheating impossible. Examfolio takes a layered approach instead: it makes cheating expensive and visible, reports what it finds as observations with their statistical basis, and leaves the final judgement with the board. Candidates are told in advance what is recorded.

Numbers are only shown when there is enough data for them to mean something, and the wording is always "observation". Two evidence tools answer "who saw this screenshot?" from the watermark or from the order of the options visible in the image.

Scoring is automatic on submission. When an error turns up in the answer key, staff correct it and rescore the whole exam in one step. Reports go down to the individual question, and every figure traces back to the candidate answers behind it.

A correct-answer rate says how hard a question was. The difficulty index shows which questions were too easy or too hard. The point-biserial correlation goes further: it compares how candidates did on one question with how they did on the whole exam. A question answered correctly mostly by strong candidates discriminates well. One that strong and weak candidates answer alike may be ambiguous or off target.

These figures are a signal for the experts to weigh. After each exam, the committee decides what happens to each question.

Every board has its own governance, its own question development process and its own rules. You keep the way your organisation already works. We configure Examfolio around it with you, and the configuration can change as your programme develops.

Existing customers move with everything intact: users merged by email, every question with its full version history, media, comments, tags, curriculum and translations, every exam set and delivered exam, every candidate answer and result, and every test centre and contact.

A migration is accepted only after the checks pass. Migrated exams state clearly what they cannot show, and the legacy import and export formats remain available afterwards.
