Class Test Management: Weekly tests. No paperwork.

Teachers set the test and enter marks on the Inkwelly app, between two periods. Families hear the moment you publish — and the monthly test becomes one result sheet, with rank, for every section.

What is class test management software?

Every weekly test. Marked and read.

Class test management software is where teachers record a school's frequent tests — weekly, monthly and unit tests, dictations and orals — with each child's marks or grade, absences, remarks and answer sheets, on a phone or a computer. Inkwelly then tells families when marks are ready, turns a whole-school monthly test into one result sheet with rank, and shows which children are slipping.

Also called a class test app, a weekly test marks app, unit test result software or a school test management system.

Why schools move class tests from registers to an app

Registers. Photos. Chart paper. Or one app.

Today a weekly test's marks live in one teacher's register. In Inkwelly the whole school can read them the same day.

How most schools do it today

A register per teacher. A photo on WhatsApp. Chart paper at month-end.

  • Marks go into the teacher's own register, often at home on Sunday
  • A photo of the whole mark list goes to the class WhatsApp group
  • An absent child is a zero in one register and a blank in another
  • The monthly result is copied onto chart paper, subject by subject
  • A child slipping since July is noticed at the half-yearly

With Inkwelly

Marked on the phone. Families told. Results added up.

  • Marks go in on the phone, between two periods
  • Each family sees only their own child's marks, in the app
  • Absent is kept apart from zero, so averages stay true
  • One result sheet per section, with totals and rank, in Excel
  • Children at risk or slipping are grouped as soon as marks are in

Marks entry app for teachers: weekly and unit test marks on the phone

Marked between two periods.

A number against each name, A for absent, a remark or a photo of the answer sheet where it helps. Save, and the test adds itself up. Publish, and every family is told.

  1. 1Type marks · A for absent
  2. 2Save — the test adds up
  3. 3Publish — families are told

Sample class. The notification comes in the Inkwelly app; WhatsApp and SMS go too when your school switches them on.

Monthly test result sheet for the whole school: test cycles

One monthly test. One result sheet.

Plan the month's test once, across classes. Each subject teacher gets their own paper to mark, the board shows what's holding up the result, and each family gets one message — not six.

Sample school: six sections, six papers each. Families see rank on their card only if you switch it on.

Student performance tracking: who is at risk, who is slipping

Spot who's slipping. While there's time.

Every test adds to every child's record. The Students screen sorts them into groups, with each rule written on screen — and gives the class teacher talking points for the parent meeting.

Average below 50%, or at least one paper below its pass mark. Lowest average first.

Sample class of 40. Teachers see these numbers from the tests they set; the principal sees the whole school.

How a class test runs in Inkwelly, from setting it to locking the marks

One unit test. Start to finish.

Set on the phone on Monday, marked between periods on Friday, out to families by the evening — and locked a week later, so the marks parents saw stay the marks.

  1. Mon 12 Oct · 7:40 pm
    Draft · nobody told

    Set on the phone

    From the 6-B Maths batch in three steps: unit test, out of 25, pass mark 9, filed under Fractions.

    40 on the list

    The class sits it

    On paper, as always. The list is the live class list, so a child who joined last week is on it.

    Results out

    Every family in 6-B gets “Test results are out!” in the Inkwelly app and sees their own child's marks.

    Locked

    With auto-lock at 7 days, the marks stop changing a week after families saw them. Reopening needs a written reason.

Unit tests, AB for absent, rank and Hindi for Indian schools

Made for Indian schools. And their weekly tests.

The tests, marks and habits of Indian classrooms — already there.

  • Every test a school gives

    Weekly, monthly, unit and surprise tests, dictation, oral, mental maths, handwriting, practicals and assignments — or a type you name.

  • Grades and ticks for little ones

    An oral or handwriting test can take A+, a double tick or Good instead of marks — and never pulls down a percentage.

  • AB means absent

    The monthly result sheet prints AB and counts it as zero, the register's way. Everywhere else, an absence stays out of the averages.

  • Rank, only if you want it

    The result sheet ranks each section, with equal totals sharing a rank. Families see rank only if you switch it on.

  • English and Hindi

    The Tests screens work in English and Hindi, and families get the results message in either language.

  • Your own WhatsApp and SMS

    Results reach the Inkwelly app with no setup. WhatsApp and SMS go from your school's own number once you switch them on.

Class tests for subject teachers, exam coordinators, the principal and families

One test. Everyone in the loop.

Each person sees what their role allows — a teacher, only the tests they set.

  • Subject teacher

    Sets a test on the phone in three steps, marks it between periods, and publishes when marking is done.

  • Exam coordinator

    Plans the monthly test once as a cycle, sees which paper is holding up the result, and releases them together.

  • Principal

    The Tests dashboard: tests waiting for marks, averages by subject and class, and the children who need support.

  • Students & parents

    Their own child's marks, the teacher's remark and the answer sheet in the app — never anyone else's.

See everything Inkwelly AI can do

Inkwelly AI and AI Connect come with the Premium plan. It can create a draft test, and save marks or release results after showing you a preview to approve; editing, locking and planning cycles stay on the Tests screens. Answers above are from a sample school.

Class test software: questions schools ask.

  • Class test management software is where teachers record a school's frequent tests — weekly, monthly and unit tests, dictations and orals — with each child's marks or grade, absences, remarks and answer sheets, on a phone or a computer. Inkwelly then tells families when marks are ready, turns a whole-school monthly test into one result sheet with rank, and shows which children are slipping.

  • Eleven types: weekly, monthly, unit, surprise, dictation, oral, assignment, practical, mental maths, handwriting and other — with a name of your own if the school allows it. A test can be for one section, several sections or a teaching batch.

  • Yes. Each test takes either marks out of a total, with an optional pass mark, or a grade or symbol such as A+ or a double tick. Grade-only tests never go into a percentage. Once marks are in, a test can't switch between the two.

  • On the Inkwelly app: open the test, type a mark against each name, tap A for a child who was absent, add a remark or a photo of the answer sheet where it helps, and tap Save marks. Typed marks are kept on the phone as a draft until they're saved. On the web, press Enter to jump to the next student.

  • An absent child is marked absent, not given a zero. Averages, the highest and the lowest leave absences out, and a paper nobody has marked yet is never counted as zero. The one exception is a test cycle's result sheet, which prints AB and counts it as zero, the way a register does.

  • Yes — one page or several for each child, as photos or files from the phone, or images and PDFs on the web. Once results are published, the family sees their own child's answer sheet in the app, next to the marks and the remark.

  • Yes. Publishing sends each child's family a notification in the Inkwelly app — “Test results are out!” — in English or Hindi. WhatsApp and SMS versions go too once your school switches them on in Communications. Correcting a mark later doesn't send a second message, and a school can turn result notifications off in Tests settings.

  • Publishing doesn't wait for every mark, so the app shows how many students are still unmarked before the teacher confirms — keep a test as a draft until marking is done. Test cycles are stricter: by default they release only the papers where every child is marked or absent.

  • No — on purpose. Class tests never change a report card or a term result. Term exams, report cards and marksheets are in Exams & Report Cards, which every plan includes.

  • A whole-school monthly or unit test, planned once. Pick the classes, and Inkwelly works out each section's papers from the teaching batches and creates each one for the teacher who takes that subject. Announce the datesheet, watch the marking on one board, publish the results together and download one result sheet.

  • Yes. Every child, every subject, the total, the out-of, the percentage and the rank within the section — equal totals share a rank (1, 2, 2, 4). Absent counts as zero; a paper not marked yet is left out of the total and the child is flagged. It downloads as Excel, a sheet per section.

  • Only if you choose. “Show rank to students” is off by default; switched on, a child's test cycle card in the app shows their position in the section. The school's own result sheet always shows rank.

  • Yes, until the test is locked. A teacher can lock a test once marking is done, and the school can lock published tests automatically after 1 to 90 days. Only people allowed to unlock tests — the principal and vice principal by default — can reopen one, with a written reason.

  • By default a teacher sees and marks only the tests they set. The principal and vice principal see every test, run test cycles and unlock tests; only the principal changes Tests settings. Schools can change this role by role. Families see only their own child's published results.

  • The Students screen groups every child — at risk, slipping, missed tests, top performers, on track and not assessed — with each group's rule on screen. Open a child for every paper, their rank in the section, a trend against the class average and talking points for the parent meeting.

  • Yes. Each test's mark list downloads with a sheet per section — marks, AB for absent, remarks, and the average, highest and lowest. A test cycle's result sheet and the Students list download too.

  • Yes. The Tests screens on the web work in English and Hindi, and the results messages to families come in English or Hindi. In the Inkwelly app, tests show in English for now.

  • Yes, on plans with Inkwelly AI. Ask “kin tests ke marks baaki hain?”, “who is slipping in 6-B?” or “Aarav ke tests kaise gaye?” and get names, numbers or an Excel. It can also create a draft test, and save marks or release results after showing you a preview to approve.

  • Old weekly test marks don't need to move — there's no import for them, and the first test in Inkwelly starts every child's record. What Class Tests needs is your students, classes, subjects and teaching batches, which come in with the rest of Inkwelly. ₹0 migration, ₹0 training, ₹0 setup. Data extraction from your current system — or from Excel if the vendor won't cooperate — is on us. Go-live can be the next working day. You pick the date; we don't need months of parallel running to get there.

  • Class Tests is in the Standard plan, at ₹99 per student per year (GST extra), and in Premium; it isn't in Lite. Plans run ₹49–₹199 per student per year, with ₹0 migration, training and setup.
