Most Platforms Charge Too Much. Quilgo Doesn’t. Stop Overpaying for Online Exams - Here’s the Secret If you’ve ever felt that traditional testing platforms force you to overpay for things you don’t actually use, like extra user licenses, per-test fees, and per-candidate charges, you’re absolutely right. Most platforms are built on outdated models that scale your costs. Quilgo works differently. We use a modern concurrency model called test-taker seats, which means you only pay for the number of people taking a test at the same time. Not for the number of candidates you invite, not for your admin seats, and not for the number of tests you run. What does this mean? Unlimited candidates - invite hundreds without affecting your plan Unlimited tests - run as many exams, assessments, or hiring cycles as you need Unlimited team members - no admin licenses, ever Costs tied based on real usage - you pay for simultaneous test sessions If your peak testing load is 20 people at once, you only need 20 seats, even if you invite 1,000 candidates over two weeks. Many organisations achieve cost reductions of 10× to 45× compared to old licensing models. Perfect for: - Universities and schools running exams in blocks - Hiring teams are testing candidates in waves - Bootcamps and certification programs - Online events ­ Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ezExPjmZ ­ Quilgo makes high-volume assessments simple, scalable, and dramatically more affordable.

New Feature: Short Text Answer Grading in the Quilgo Platform Streamline your test evaluation process with automated grading for short text responses. We’re excited to introduce a new feature on the Quilgo platform, Short Text Answer Grading. Until now, short text questions required manual review. This update enables automatic grading based on exact text matches, making the process faster, clearer, and more consistent. What’s new? When a test is submitted, Quilgo automatically checks short text answers for exact matches with the correct responses you’ve defined. The update includes: Exact match grading – responses are evaluated based on precise text comparison. Case sensitivity option – choose whether capitalisation matters (e.g., Paris vs paris). Automatic reporting – results are instantly available in Quilgo reports. Simple setup – when creating a question, specify the correct answer (or several), and Quilgo will handle the rest. How it works When you create a short text question, add one or more correct answers in the question settings. Quilgo compares each participant’s response against these values and assigns a grade based on your configuration. All results appear automatically in standard reports ready for analysis or export. Why it matters Short text questions offer a simple yet effective way to assess understanding without requiring lengthy responses. This update helps reduce manual grading time and ensures accuracy and consistency across all submissions. Short Text Answer Grading is now live for all users on the Quilgo platform. 👉 Try it today in your Quilgo account and make grading short text responses faster and more efficient. https://lnkd.in/gPKarKF6
