High-volume marking with a full audit trail.
Alama supports examination bodies and ministries with fast, consistent marking of theory and essay papers, on-site where needed.
What Alama does for exam bodies
Built around the way you already run exams.
Volume without the logistics
Mark large volumes of theory scripts with fewer examiners moving between centres.
On-site with Alama Edge
Marking can run inside the exam centre, so scripts never leave the building.
Examiner oversight
Senior examiners review flagged answers and sample the rest, as in today’s moderation process.
Audit and security
Every mark, change and approval is logged, so results can be checked and defended.
How it fits your process
You keep your exams, schemes and examiners. Alama takes on the first pass.
