Handwriting is not coding
On paper, neat handwriting counts. Lecturers have to guess if the code would work.
Students type and run real code, just like in practice.
For Nigerian universities and polytechnics
Coding exams, marked by running the code.
Lecturers set coding exams. Students write real code in Python, C++ or JavaScript. ScriptGrade runs each answer and marks it with the lecturer’s own tests. The lecturer can always check and change any mark.

Why we built ScriptGrade
Students learn coding on a computer. So why are they still tested on paper?
By hand
30+hours
to mark 200 scripts at 10 minutes each, for one exam
With ScriptGrade
As soon as they submit
Code answers are marked the moment each student submits
Marks are not always fair
The same answer can get different marks on different days, or from different lecturers.
Every answer is checked with the same tests.
No one knows if it works
On paper, no one can be sure the code would actually run.
Here, the code is really run.
Exams
Everything a coding exam needs.
Students take exams in the ScriptGrade app on your campus network. Lecturers stay in charge of every question, test and mark.
Hidden marking tests
Students see a few example tests. The marking tests stay hidden, so memorising the examples won’t get the marks.
Every kind of question in one paper
Mix code, multiple choice, short and written answers in the same exam. Most of the marking is done for you.
- Write code
- Multiple choice
- Short answer
- Written answer
Exam integrity built in
Screen lockdown, activity records and invigilator controls, so an exam on students’ own laptops is still a proper exam.
Only registered students can take your exams
Upload your class list from Excel once. Students sign in with their matric number and a private PIN, and anyone who isn’t registered for the exam is turned away.
The lecturer has the last word
No AI marking. Review any student’s code and output, correct a mark if needed, and export results as a spreadsheet.
Write code, not handwriting
Students code in a proper editor, the way they practise, and can test their work before submitting when the lecturer allows it.
Made for real courses
Share marking with other lecturers, reuse an exam for another group, and schedule when it opens and closes.

Online classroom
Learning doesn’t stop after the exam.
An online space for classwork. Students can use it at home or on mobile data.
- Share notes, updates and assignments with each class
- Students submit typed code or a file
- Practise running Python, C++ or JavaScript
- Set due dates and marks, then share scores and feedback
- Let one student submit again, and keep their first answer
- Invite students by email, using a list your school has checked

For students
Writing a ScriptGrade exam?
You use the ScriptGrade Student app for exams. It also opens the online classroom. Get it free from the Microsoft Store, then sign in the way your lecturer tells you.
Check your email. We send your class invite code and password reset codes by email. If you can’t find one, look in your spam or junk folder too.
Student app for Windows
Free on the Microsoft Store. It installs in one click and updates itself.
Windows 10 or 11. Python and a C++ compiler come built in.
Do students need internet during an exam?
No. Exams run on your campus network. If the internet goes off, students can still finish.
Which coding languages can students use?
Python, C++ and JavaScript. A question can also ask for a written answer, which the lecturer marks.
How is a code answer marked?
The lecturer writes tests. ScriptGrade runs the student’s code against them and gives marks for every test that passes, so code that half works still gets some marks. The lecturer can check and change any mark.
I didn’t get an email from ScriptGrade. What do I do?
First, check your inbox, then your spam or junk folder. You can also search your email for “ScriptGrade”. Invite codes stop working after 48 hours, so use them soon. Still nothing? Ask your lecturer to send the invite again.
Does the free month include exams?
No. The free month is for the online classroom only. Exams are always paid for separately.
How much does it cost?
There’s no fixed price. Each school gets its own quote based on its size and what it needs. Talk to us and we’ll send you one.
How does our school get the Lecturer app?
Once your payment is confirmed, we send the Lecturer app straight to your school. You can’t download it from the internet.
