GradesUp is a cutting-edge platform that helps teachers monitor and analyze students’ performances more effectively, via Multiple Choice Questions or MCQs in English. It offers comprehensive data management and insightful reports regarding students’ progress – all the information can be viewed on a centralized dashboard. Even students are benefitted as they can assess which concepts they have grasped, and the areas where they need to put in more work.

With GradesUp, we aim to combine technology and education. Using our platform, teachers can create tests in MCQ format and administer them to students as per the examination time-table. Every school will have a customized question bank in  English.

MCQs – Simple Yet Effective

GradesUp is a platform for digitizing MCQs – it is one of the best ways to evaluate how students are performing in English. The objective nature of MCQs limit scoring bias – they eliminate issues associated with marker inconsistency that may arise with grading essay type questions (in case of subjects like English). For classes with large numbers, it ensures that teachers can assess student performances much faster.  Teachers could even randomize the order of answer options, thus making the test difficult to tamper with.

MCQ tests are a valuable learning tool that aids in better understanding of concepts and ideas. When students are presented with decisions that involve choosing between alternatives, it requires careful analysis and deep thinking, thus prompting them to reach the correct solution. While some answers might be obvious, in most instances they have to be reasoned through, which improves cognitive and analytical skills.  MCQs allow extensive coverage of a wide range of topics, while helping to boost abilities like recall, application, and analysis.

How does GradesUp Help?

• No more creating tests and making separate copies for each student – it saves time, effort, and paper.
• Teachers don’t have to re-create questions from scratch for every year. For instance, the English question paper for the 6^th standard in 2023 can be used for the next batch of students of the same class, in 2024. Teachers can add or modify questions as per changes in the curriculum.
• The app has an automated grading system – scoring is instant as students complete each question. By the time the exam is over, the entire paper has been graded!
• Teachers can choose to publish results right away, or according to the school schedule.
• Based on the results, teachers and administrators will be able to adapt and change lesson plans and teaching methods. They can provide feedback by pointing out where a particular student needs improvement.
• Students can utilize the results to identify areas where they have performed well and focus on topics that require more attention.
• Parents gain access to data from the dashboard, so they know exactly how much their children have scored and get a clear idea about overall performances too.
