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.
