Assembling a paper
A paper is a selection of questions from the bank, arranged and weighted into a sittable assessment. EduPrime lets you build it by hand, auto-sample it against a difficulty blueprint, or mix both – and produce multiple versions to deter copying.
Manual selection
Open Assessments → Papers, create a paper for a subject and sitting, then pick questions.
- Filter the question bank by topic and difficulty.
- Tick the questions you want and click Add to paper.
- Drag to reorder, group into sections (A, B, C), and set section instructions.
- Confirm the running total of marks matches the paper's target.
Auto-sampling by blueprint
For large banks, let EduPrime build a balanced paper to a blueprint – a recipe of how many questions to draw at each difficulty and topic.
| Blueprint row | Topic | Difficulty | Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Algebra | Easy | 4 |
| 2 | Algebra | Medium | 3 |
| 3 | Geometry | Hard | 2 |
- Define the blueprint rows on the paper.
- Click Auto-sample; EduPrime randomly draws questions matching each row, avoiding recently used items.
- Review the draft – swap any question you dislike for another that fits the same row.
Versions and shuffling
To reduce copying in a crowded hall, generate multiple versions of one paper from the same blueprint. Each version draws a different sample (or reshuffles question and option order) while keeping the same mark total and difficulty profile, so all candidates face an equivalent – but not identical – paper.
Finalising the paper
When the paper is complete, click Finalise. This locks the question selection, generates the print-ready PDF (and the online attempt for online sittings), and produces the corresponding mark scheme for markers.
