About GradeMaker Pro

GradeMaker Pro is a test authoring software from Grademaker that supports assessment development professionals. It combines features for school assessment providers, updates on news and job opportunities, and a dedicated FAQ section so users can easily find relevant information. This software is specifically designed for high-stakes exam providers serving ages 5-18, ensuring that test creators have the tools they need for effective assessment development. GradeMaker Pro is also integrated with the AQA group, which further improves its capabilities. Key capabilities: assessment authoring news updates FAQ resources job listings collaboration tools Best for: assessment developers that need an efficient platform for creating tests and managing related information.

GradeMaker Pro is a highly secure, enterprise-grade item banking and exam authoring system designed for awarding bodies and professional certification organisations. Its primary value is transforming the inefficient, high-risk process of creating and approving exam content into a streamlined, auditable, and quality-controlled digital workflow. By offering single-source publishing to both print (via automatic typesetting) and multiple digital delivery platforms, it saves significant production time. While it is not an exam delivery system itself and is complex and expensive, its ISO 27001 certification and modular architecture make it an industry-leading choice for large-scale organizations focused on maintaining the highest levels of security and validity for their high-stakes assessment content.

Features

Key features

Modular Digital Infrastructure
A standards-based design that allows the system to integrate and work with various "best-of-breed" exam delivery systems, ensuring you aren't locked into a single technology stack for delivery.
Secure Online Authoring Workflow
Enables a bespoke, multi-step quality assurance (QA) and development process where authors, reviewers, and approvers collaborate securely, with every action automatically tracked.
Single-Source Publishing (Digital & Print)
Allows the creation of content once, which can then be instantly published to both an on-screen test player (digital) and an automatically typeset paper exam (print), saving significant production time.
Comprehensive Item Banking
A secure, central repository for questions and content, complete with metadata tagging, tracking of question usage, and performance data to inform future item creation.
Advanced Security and Audit Trails (ISO 27001)
Protects content from unauthorized access using multi-factor authentication, IP Address controls, full encryption (at rest and in transit), and an auditable log of every comment and change made during development.

Additional features

Customisable Workflow Definition
The ability to build a unique workflow where every QA step is assigned to a specific role/user before content automatically moves to the next stage.
User and Permission Management
Sophisticated controls to manage who sees what content, defining granular roles (Author, Reviewer, Approver, etc.) and limiting access to specific items or products.
Metadata Tagging and Curriculum Coverage
Allows questions to be tagged against the curriculum or custom fields to ensure broad and balanced coverage in every test built.
Progress and Task Monitoring
Effortlessly track the status of every question and exam project, allowing managers to quickly spot bottlenecks and reassign tasks to maintain momentum.
Version Control and Compare
Automatically records all changes and allows users to easily see the differences between specific versions of questions or papers for quality assurance and accountability.
Instant Typesetting (PrintPrep Tool)
Automatically formats and previews paper tests using the customer's in-house styling rules, eliminating the need for manual typesetting and reducing the associated security risks.
Export to On-Screen Test Players
Sends approved questions directly to preferred digital delivery systems (like Inspera Assessment or Surpass) without needing additional formatting changes.
Results Analysis Integration
Tools that allow for the integration of results data to analyse item performance and identify trends, which can then be used to improve assessments.
