Everything in one place

Papers, rooms and candidates all on one timetable

Exam staff can see details of each exam session on one screen: papers and their duration, number of candidates, rooms, invigilators and access arrangements all in one timetable. No need to have multiple spreadsheets and documents to store the details.

Clash detection

Candidate and room clashes are flagged as you build the timetable.

Always know what is left

The cycle inspector shows how many papers are scheduled and whether any clashes remain.

Invigilator cover

Assign invigilators to rooms and see where cover is still needed.

Timetable

Scheduler timetable for an example series: six humanities papers in the Sports Hall, shared HL/SL papers beside HL-only and SL-only ones, History Papers 1 and 2 back to back, extra time on some papers, the Quiet Room and Learning Support below, and the cycle inspector showing 57 of 57 papers scheduled and no clashes.

Mock exams

No official timetable? Scheduler will write one

Give the autoscheduler your dates, rooms and rules, and it will draft a timetable that respects them.

Fair on every candidate

Set daily paper limits for candidates and add breaks and rest days.

Access arrangements handled

Candidates with arrangements are placed in your arrangement rooms, with their extra time built in.

You stay in charge

Set papers on specific dates, bundle papers together or keep subjects separate. You set the rules.

Autoscheduler

Autoscheduler draft for an example mock series, with 51 of 51 papers placed day by day across morning and afternoon sessions.

Automatic seating

Seat a whole exam hall in minutes

Scheduler will create a seating plan based on your room layout and seating parameters. Multiple papers in one room, special arrangements, pillars, teacher desks and closed seats, everything will be taken into consideration and seating planned accordingly.

  • Drag candidates to different seats, or swap candidates

  • Lock a candidate's seat

  • Seat candidates for several papers in one room, with each paper easy to identify

  • Record room layouts and unusable seats, including pillars and teacher desks

Seating

Seating plan for the Sports Hall, numbered down each column, with 91 example candidates seated around a walkway, pillars and the invigilators’ desk.

The paperwork, done

Exam documents, ready to print

Generate candidate, room, invigilator and component schedules, desk labels, room layout posters, candidate lists, attendance registers and seating plans directly from the timetable. Preview each document, then download it as one file or as individual files.

Paperwork

Room schedule preview in the PDF export, beside the list of printable documents and the document options.

Straight to the screens

A display for every room, made from the timetable

Scheduler does not stop at paperwork. In a couple of clicks it creates a saved display for every room in every session, named and ready to run, so exam day starts with the timetable already on the screens.

Every room, every session

One display per room per session, named by series, date and time.

Timings and extra time

Each paper arrives with its duration and start, and extra time switched on where candidates need it.

Notes come too

Exam notes from the timetable appear on the display, and papers with a later start are marked.

Saved displays

A saved display created from the timetable for the Sports Hall: six exam cards with their timings, extra time switched on where candidates need it, a note under History Paper 1 and a later start for Paper 2.
