What it is
🎓 A complete exam system for WordPress, free and not feature-locked:
- Question bank - seven question types, explanations, rubrics, pictures; import from CSV, Aiken, GIFT, Moodle XML and QTI
- Exam builder - sections that are a fixed list or a pool drawn by subject, tag, difficulty and type; questions and options shuffled
- Runner - server-side timing, autosave, pause and resume, and it works without JavaScript
- Marking - automatic on submission, with a queue for essays and anything you mark by hand
- Certificates - awarded on a pass, rendered as a real PDF, verifiable through a QR code
- Learners - a dashboard, an exam catalogue, blocks and shortcodes such as
[plugixa_exam_catalogue] - Admin - a fast Material UI application, five seeded roles, a schedule calendar, GDPR export and erasure
A full tour with every feature is on the documentation - and on the WordPress.org plugin page.
Who is it for?
Schools and universities sitting timed papers. Training centres and certification bodies issuing numbered certificates with a public verification page. Companies and HR teams running induction tests where candidates do not have an account on the site yet. Any course site - the exam pages render inside the active theme.
