Features — Examengo
Invite without accounts
The biggest barrier to online exam adoption is candidate friction. With Examengo, your candidates receive a personalised link by email and take the exam directly — no account creation, no password required.
Enter a list of email addresses or import a CSV file, and each candidate receives their unique link. That’s it.
Automatic code evaluation
Examengo supports 7 programming languages: Python, C, C++, Java, R, Bash, and Scilab. Submissions run in a secure, isolated environment. Candidates see the real output of their program, and you see scores in real time.
Perfect for:
- Coding bootcamps
- University computer science exams
- Technical hiring challenges
8+ question types
Build your exams with the following types:
- MCQ — single or multiple choice
- Open question — free text response
- Code submission — auto-evaluated in 7 languages
- File upload — for assignments and projects
- Matching — pair elements together
- Integer or float answer — exact numerical response
- True/False
- Fill in the blank
AI-assisted exam creation
Describe the topic, level, and number of questions. AI drafts a complete exam in seconds. You remain in control — edit, delete, add. AI saves you time; you keep the final say.
Need to vary questions across candidate groups? AI can also generate variations of an existing question or reword an unclear statement.
Live monitoring dashboard
During the exam, track in real time:
- Connected candidates and their progress question by question
- Time remaining for each individual candidate
- Submissions received
After the exam, view scores, attempts, code submissions, and export all results to CSV.
Per-invitation control
Every invitation is individually configurable:
- Custom duration — adjust the time allocated to a specific candidate (accommodations, different time zone)
- Scheduled start time — invite now, exam starts at a precise future date and time
- Start deadline — candidates must begin before a set cutoff
- Per-invitation attempt limit — override the general rule for specific candidates
- Extra time — grant additional minutes to one candidate without affecting anyone else
Second chances, on your terms
Grant an extra attempt to a single candidate — after a technical issue or exceptional circumstance — without changing the rules for everyone else.
The candidate receives an email notification. You can revoke the extra attempt as long as they haven’t started. Credits are deducted at the moment of granting.
Level playing field — no two exams alike
No video surveillance infrastructure needed. Examengo reduces cheating through:
- Question shuffling — each candidate receives questions in a different order
- Answer shuffling — MCQ options appear in a random order per candidate
- Question pools with random draw — define a pool and draw N questions at random per candidate. No two candidates see the exact same exam.
Manual grading and comments
Open-ended questions, file uploads, and code submissions can be manually reviewed:
- Assign marks per question
- Add instructor comments visible to the candidate after the exam
- Award partial credit on complex questions
- Recompute totals automatically after grading
Pass thresholds and grading scales
- Set a custom passing score threshold (not locked to 50%)
- Create custom grading scales with letter grades (A, B, C…) and score ranges
- Attach a grading scale to a course for consistency across the full curriculum
Course organisation
Group multiple exams under a single course — useful for a semester, cohort, or hiring process:
- Open or request-based enrollment
- Co-instructors to share management
- Track candidate progress across the full course
- Email reminders to enrolled candidates
Credit-based pricing
No monthly subscription running even when you don’t use the platform. Buy credits and spend them when you need:
- Invite a candidate — 20 credits per invitation
- Generate a question with AI — 10 credits per question
- Extra attempt — grant a candidate a second chance
Credits never expire. A cancelled invitation refunds your credits.
