Diagnostic and Positioning
Measure the starting level, skill by skill, before the first session.
The challenges of diagnostic and positioning
No way to know where your learners stand before starting the training.
Skill gaps that slow down advanced learners and lose the struggling ones.
Recommending a learning path without reliable data on prior knowledge.
No way to measure progress between the diagnostic and the end of training.
How Evalmee helps you
One test per skill
Each question carries tags, in two categories: the skill targeted and the topic, for instance. Closed questions grade themselves, and the random draw pulls from a bank the number of questions you set.
- Two tag categories per question, from the Excel import template onwards
- True/false, single choice and MCQ graded automatically according to your scoring scheme
- Random draw from a bank: a different paper for each participant
A reading by criterion
Criteria-based assessment shows, on each script, a mark per criterion next to the overall grade. Criteria are defined once for the exam, then attached question by question with grading instructions.
- Criteria defined at exam level, reused question by question
- A mark per criterion on the script, in addition to the overall grade
- On written answers, Evalmee AI suggests points and feedback that you approve
Results that leave the platform
After the test, the Statistics screen gives the minimum, mean and maximum grade, then the success rate question by question. Participants see their grade and their marked script if you allow it.
- Minimum, mean and maximum grade, then success rate per question
- Excel export of grades, simple or detailed question by question
- REST API: grade, status and marks per criterion, participant by participant
Evidence for your quality audit
An auditor, like a corporate client, asks how each participant was placed at the start of the course. The completed test, its scripts and its grades are that record, kept with no extra work. The detail, line by line, is on the training providers page.
- One PDF script per participant, in an archive or a single document
- Start and end of each attempt timestamped
- Excel export of grades, to file with each participant's record

With Evalmee
The benefits
The starting level is known, skill by skill, before the first session.
The same test serves every intake, with a different draw for each participant.
Every participant can read their grade and their marked script as soon as the test ends.
The record of positioning exists with no extra work: scripts, grades, timestamps.
The template to download
A placement test template for the start of a course, in PDF, Word and Excel, is available on the placement test template page.
The Excel file follows the Evalmee import format: it loads as is, with its tags and points.
Adapt the questions to your course, then run it from Evalmee.
They trust Evalmee
What's more, the Evalmee team is incredibly responsive when issues arise. Within 30 minutes (sometimes even less) you get a response, and a solution.
I can only recommend Evalmee to every school!
The anti-cheating features gave me incredible peace of mind: no more suspicious papers, no more cheating attempts, and above all fairer grades.
And most importantly, I get back precious time: before, I used to spend 30 minutes of class time going over the MCQ answers with students, now that half hour is reinvested in teaching.
The real plus is the peace of mind: I can see at a glance where each student stands, without wasting time on follow-ups or endless verifications.
For an instructor who has to manage courses alongside professional activities, this time and clarity gain changes everything.
Today, everything is gathered in one place: exam papers, submissions and results. I can monitor in real time what's happening, analyze submissions with relevant indicators, and above all make graders' work easier.
What I also appreciate is that Evalmee is constantly evolving in the right direction.
As a researcher-teacher, this time saved is significant: I can reinvest it directly in my research work, rather than in time-consuming administrative tasks.
