Mock exams hub
Mock exam grading software for tutors, teachers, and schools
Mock exams create a different grading problem from weekly homework: more pages, tighter deadlines, higher stakes, and a need for cohort-level evidence. This hub shows how Gradenza mock exam workflows connect photo submissions, AI grading, Follow Through logic, teacher review, reports, and mastery maps.

Benefits
Why mock exams need their own workflow
A mock is both assessment and diagnosis. The grading system has to support both.
Handles volume
Full-paper submissions and reports keep the process organised when page count spikes.
Supports high-stakes review
Teachers can focus review on amber flags rather than rechecking every routine decision from scratch.
Creates revision evidence
Question and topic summaries turn mock results into a practical revision plan.
Proof and trust
Mock grading trust signals
Because mocks influence predictions and revision plans, Gradenza keeps grading decisions inspectable.
Teacher remains accountable
The final release happens after teacher review.
Follow Through is visible
Own-figure decisions are labelled in reports for IB Math.
Reports can be exported
Mock outcomes can be shared with students or departments without manual report assembly.
