Handwritten exams, marked before the week is over

AGS reads scanned exam papers, marks every answer against your key, and explains every mark. Your instructors review and approve. You also get the CLO and PLO evidence your accreditation file needs.

How it works

Three steps, with the instructor in charge

No new hardware and no new habits. The exams stay on paper. AGS starts where the scanner stops.

1

Upload the answer key

AGS reads the questions and their points from your key. You check them once.

2

Upload the scanned papers

Ordinary PDFs from any scanner. AGS reads each student's handwriting and matches the paper to the student.

3

Review and approve

Every answer comes back marked, with the reason. Accept it or override it. Nothing is final until you say so.

What comes back

A reason for every mark

Each answer shows the question, the key, what the student wrote, and why marks were given or lost. Appeals get answered with facts.

97%agreement with the instructor's own class average on a real handwritten exam

In one course, the AGS marks and the instructor's marks did not agree. The university went back to the papers, checked them, and found the hand marking had not been consistent. The same answer key applied the same way to every paper is the point of the system.
