Reads past papers, writes new items
Past exams and teaching material are read in advance. Describe the unit, the marks and the item format in your own words, and items matching those conditions come out.
LabRAG
AI for writing exam items
It reads past papers and writing guidelines and writes new items to the conditions you describe. Each item carries its source, and only items checked by someone who knows the subject become final.
What it does
Each item shows the past paper behind it
Every item carries the past paper and the place in the material it was built from. You can check straight away whether a similar item already exists.
Someone who knows the subject checks it
Nothing is final until it has been checked. Write down what was wrong and where, and the next items follow that standard.
Example
How it goes
Write me two four-mark multiple choice items on unit 3.
Two multiple choice items on the core concepts of unit 3, with answers. The explanation says why each wrong option is wrong.
Source: 2024 paper 2, item 12; teaching material, unit 3

Common questions
What material do we need?
The past paper files and writing guidelines you already use. They do not have to be tidy.
Can we use the items as they come out?
Use them after they have been checked. Only items read and corrected by someone who knows the subject become final.
