HEXAM is a fast, secure and modern quiz and exam plugin for WordPress. Build engaging quizzes, graded exams, knowledge checks, surveys and online assessments in minutes — then drop them into any page or post with a block or shortcode. Whether you run an e-learning site, a membership community, a school or a corporate training portal, HEXAM gives you a professional quiz experience with zero configuration headaches. Version 2.0 is a complete, ground-up rewrite: a beautiful mobile-friendly frontend, a drag-and-drop question builder, real question types, scheduling, enrolment control, live scoring and per-quiz statistics — all following current WordPress security and coding best practices. Why choose HEXAM? Question bank — a central, reusable question library (with draft/pending/private/publish statuses and tags) that feeds any quiz. Add from bank & forking — drop bank questions into a quiz as read-only linked copies that stay in sync with the bank, or fork them into local, editable questions with one click. AI question generation (WordPress 7.0+) — describe the questions you need and let the WordPress AI Client draft them: straight into the quiz editor, or into the question bank as drafts for review. Works with any provider configured under Settings → Connectors. Modern quiz UI/UX — clean, responsive, accessible quizzes that look great on any device and adapt to light or dark mode. Drag-and-drop quiz builder — reorder questions by dragging, add or remove answers instantly, no page reloads. Real question types — single choice (radio), multiple choice (checkboxes) and open text answers. Two display modes — show every question in one list, or present them one-by-one as slides with a progress bar. Scheduling — set a start date (with a friendly “not started yet” notice) and a deadline for each quiz. Enrolment control — make a quiz public, restrict it to specific user roles, or limit it to named individual users. Automatic scoring — instant grading with an optional passing percentage, pass/fail messaging and a score meter. Negative marking (penalty for wrong answers) — optionally deduct a configurable percentage of a question’s points for each wrong answer (default 25%), just like real certification and competitive exams. Unanswered questions are never penalised, so guessing carries a genuine risk. Statistics dashboard — attempts, average score, best score, pass counts and every individual submission per quiz. Images in questions & answers — insert pictures straight from the WordPress media library into any question or answer option, with a live preview while you build. Gutenberg block + shortcode — insert any quiz with the “Hexam Quiz” block or the classic [hexam id=1] shortcode. CSV import with column mapping — bulk-create quizzes from a spreadsheet and map your own column names. Fully translatable (i18n) — every string is translation-ready, and every on-screen message is customisable per quiz. Secure by design — nonces, capability checks, prepared statements, and full input sanitisation / output escaping throughout. Safe upgrades — existing 1.x installs are automatically migrated to the new database structure on activation. Perfect for Online courses and e-learning (LMS-style knowledge checks) Schools, teachers and students Employee training and onboarding assessments Membership sites and communities Lead-generation quizzes and marketing Certification and practice exams Coming soon We are actively building the next generation of HEXAM. On the roadmap: Payment paywalls — sell access to premium quizzes and certification exams, with per-quiz pricing and coupons. Certificates — auto-issue downloadable PDF certificates when a learner passes. Randomised question subsets — draw a random subset of bank questions per attempt. Timed exams — countdown timers with auto-submit. Detailed analytics & CSV export — per-question breakdowns and exportable reports.
