What ClassMarker is
ClassMarker is a web based quiz maker and online testing system for building custom assessments. It supports multiple choice, multiple response, true or false, matching, essay, free text, and grammar questions. Scoring can use points, pass marks, partial credit, or manual essay grading. A question bank helps organize and reuse questions, with an option to draw questions randomly when a test begins.
Tests can be public or private and can include time limits, availability dates, embedded media, feedback, surveys, and custom certificates. ClassMarker grades tests instantly and provides analytics such as scores, percentages, question and category statistics, answer breakdowns, cohort comparisons, group and member averages, and CSV exports. Tests can be shared through groups, links, email, websites, embedded tests, APIs, or webhooks. Integrations include Zapier, Greenhouse, and FreshWorks.
ClassMarker Monitor provides browser based proctoring controls, including full screen enforcement, tab switch detection, browser monitoring, mouse boundaries, and identity verification without a software installation. Camera monitoring uses 10 credits per attempt; other tests and surveys use one credit per attempt. The service lists a free plan and a 30-day trial, and is available on web, Android, and iOS.
