Test Publishing
Output your papers to print and digital, no time wasted on typesetting or formatting
We help assessment organisations to run an efficient test publishing process
Just because you’ve finalised what’s in your test, that doesn’t mean the hard work is over. Getting a test exam-ready poses unique and difficult publishing challenges. Fortunately, GradeMaker Pro provides integrated output tools that will save months of production time and huge portions of your budget – while minimising the number of people who need to handle the content for improved security.
GradeMaker Pro can be integrated as part of a modular setup, providing a reliable long-term platform for your test authoring, no matter what your test delivery method is. You can use the same authoring solution to output tests to your preferred on-screen test player, or as an automatically typeset paper.
If you are publishing all your tests on paper
If your organisation delivers all your tests on paper, you may feel that the most cutting-edge authoring systems won't support your way of working. At GradeMaker, however, we have designed a test development system which supports the way assessment professionals really work. With us you can benefit from powerful technology for paper creation, without having to move to digital delivery.
Our PrintPrep tool can support you if:
- On-screen testing may be a long way off, but you would like to modernise your authoring for paper testing in a way which lays foundations for the future.
- There are a lot of people involved in the development and design process. You would like to cut out any unnecessary steps which risk security breaches.
- Your paper typesetting process is expensive and time consuming. It isn't entirely error proof and adds significant cost and complexity to your production cycle.

If you are publishing online and on paper
If your organisation delivers tests online, and on paper, you may be in a difficult transition phase. At GradeMaker we have unique tools which enable you to author everything in one place and take advantage of dual output features. You can deliver your tests exactly the way you want them, without extra workload.
Our online authoring platform can support you if:
- You want to be able to deliver both on-screen and paper testing from a single source as you transition to a digital assessment strategy, but it is creating a lot of extra work.
- You have traditionally always published tests on paper, but the trend towards on-screen testing has made digital assessment necessary for some tests.
- You want your assessment development and publishing process to be more efficient so you can move your digital strategy forward.
If you are publishing all your tests digitally
If your organisation delivers all your testing online you may want to make the most of all the efficiencies that technology can offer. At GradeMaker we can help you to adopt even more innovations, holding all your assets in a fully flexible and futureproof format.
Our online authoring platform can support you if:
- You are already delivering all your testing on-screen and want to modernise your authoring processes to match.
- You aren’t sure how your questions will display in your test player, and you have to go back and forth to make it appear correctly on-screen.
- You want to expand or innovate your offering, but change is held back by operational inefficiencies.
GradeMaker Pro gives you...
- Unique support for output to on-screen and print publishing.
- A direct-to-player QTI link which can send your questions straight to your on-screen testing provider.
- Previews of both on-screen and print outputs as you go, showing you exactly what candidates will see as you develop a test.
- Print-Prep functionality, allowing you to preview and download exam papers formatted to your in-house styling rules.
There is a simple way to make publishing tests much more efficient.
GradeMaker Pro provides automated output tools for print and digital that you won’t find anywhere else.
As a test developer using GradeMaker, you will:
- Feel fully prepared for any future changes to your digital or print output strategy
- Reclaim months of time usually spent on typesetting and formatting your tests.
- Be sure of consistency across all media by sending approved questions directly to your test player, without needing to make any formatting changes.
- Have complete flexibility of the output provider you use. If you ever want to change your digital testing service, you won’t need to move the content behind it.
