Academix Conduct Online Exams
Run an Exam Online That Still Feels Like an Exam
A practice quiz and a real exam need different rules. The Academix lets you schedule a scored exam for a fixed date, time and duration, grade it with your exam's own marking scheme and check written answers for copying.
Book a demo
The Academix runs three test modes: practice, mock and real. A real test is the scored one, sat at a scheduled time, and it is the scheduling and scoring around it that make it behave like an exam rather than an open quiz.
For a full paper, an institute can build a pooled assessment: subjects split into topics, each with rules for question type, difficulty, number of questions, marks, partial marks and negative marks. For a simpler scored quiz, negative marking is set per question. Objective questions grade instantly, and free-input answers go to a tutor for manual grading.
Questions come from your question bank, and AI can extract questions from a paper you upload for staff to review. After the exam, results break down by subject, topic and question, with batch rank and percentile.
Schedule It Like an Exam, Not a Quiz
Real tests are set for a specific date, start time and fixed duration, the same structure as a timed offline paper. Results can be released the moment the exam closes or held back and released later, whichever the institute prefers.
A Fixed Exam Window
The exam opens at its scheduled start time and closes the moment the duration runs out, with no pausing or reopening. Every student sits the paper in the same window, which rules out taking it slowly over a day.
Catch Copied Written Answers
Objective questions grade themselves, but written answers need a different check. The Copyleaks originality check, set up on request, scans written responses and returns a similarity score and a likely AI-written flag, so a tutor is not hunting for copy-pasted answers by eye.
Results Students Can Actually Read
Once an exam closes, students see which questions they got right or wrong, marks per question and a subject and topic breakdown, along with their batch rank and percentile.
How a Real Exam Runs
The Institute Builds the Paper
Either a pooled assessment structured by subject and topic, or a simpler quiz with negative marking set per question. Objective questions auto-grade, several with partial credit, and free-input answers go to a tutor.
The Exam Is Scheduled for a Fixed Window
A date, start time and duration are set in advance. The exam is not open before its start time and closes automatically the moment the duration ends.
Students Sit the Exam
Students attempt the paper inside the window from the app or web. When time runs out, the attempt submits itself.
Written Answers Get Checked After Submission
Where the originality check is set up, written answers go through Copyleaks, which returns a similarity score and flags text that looks AI-written. It runs alongside manual grading after the exam closes.
Grading Finishes and Results Publish
Auto-graded questions settle immediately; manually graded ones wait on a tutor. The institute then releases results right away or later. Students see right and wrong answers, marks per question, a subject and topic breakdown, and batch rank and percentile.
Where a Scored, Scheduled Exam Matters Most
Competitive Exam Centers
Mock and Real tests running through one grading engine, with the same negative marking, partial credit, and subject/topic breakdown applied consistently batch after batch, keeps results comparable across sessions.
JEE Coaching Institutes
A JEE-style paper mixes MCQ types, needs negative marking that can be set per question rather than per test, and expects a Physics/Chemistry/Math split in the results — the pooled-assessment structure scores that specifically instead of as one lump total.
Defence Exam Coaching
The written stage is what an online exam can score: timed, negative-marked and broken down by section. SSB, interview and medical rounds stay outside what any exam tool measures.
College LMS Deployments
Semester-end scored papers use the same pooled-assessment structure, with subject, topic and difficulty rules, without a separate exam tool next to the LMS.
How Can We Help You?
There is no tab-switch lock or on-screen watermark during exams; the fixed exam window is the main control.
A real exam is the scored one, scheduled for a fixed window, with results released when the institute chooses. Practice tests give instant feedback at the student's own pace, and mock tests are timed rehearsals.
A tutor grades them by hand. Where the Copyleaks originality check is set up, it also returns a similarity score and a likely AI-written flag to help the tutor.
That is the institute's choice: release them when the exam closes or hold them for later. Questions that need manual grading finalise once a tutor grades them.
Yes. Results show batch rank and percentile, and students can use Compare Yourself and the leaderboard.
Where the Rest of the Detail Lives
Exams share their scoring engine with mock and practice tests, and their integrity checks with assignments. Both are documented in full elsewhere.
