The exam day your institution can’t afford to get wrong.
Online or on paper.
Authoring, security, delivery, live invigilation, and grading run as one system, so a final exam for 50 students and a national licensure sitting for 50,000 follow the same controlled process.
What Makes It High-Stakes
There is no second attempt at exam day
A dropped session, a leaked paper, or a disputed grade costs weeks of remediation and lands on the registrar’s desk. Most institutions run these exams across four or five disconnected tools.
The paper has to stay sealed
A leak before the sitting invalidates the exam for everyone. Custody of the paper matters as much as the security of the room.
The platform has to hold
Thousands of candidates start within the same minute. Infrastructure that degrades under that load turns into an appeals process.
The result has to be defensible
Regulators, external examiners, and students all ask the same question later: can you show exactly what happened?
Exam Day, End to End
Five stages, one chain of custody
Select a stage to see what Tomax handles and which part of the platform does the work.
Author the paper
Write questions in Assessment Studio or pull them from TomaBank, with versioning and review built in before anything is locked.
- Every question type, from MCQ to essay, coding, and file upload
- Institutional and personal question banks, reusable across sittings
- Peer review and approval before the paper is sealed
Online and printed, managed the same way
Most institutions run both. Tomax treats them as two modalities of one process rather than two separate systems, so policy, question banks, and reporting carry across.
TomaEtest: Online high-stakes exams
Build, deliver, run, and grade secure online exams, end to end.
Assessment Studio for authoring, the Monitor control room for exam day, and the Vix client students sit the exam on.
TomaSafe & Mix: Printed high-stakes exams
Secure, scrambled paper exams, managed end to end.
Mix produces scrambled paper versions; TomaGrade scans, marks, and returns statistics without manual tallying.
Live Exam Control
Monitor is a control room, not a camera feed
Invigilators grant accommodations, answer student questions, push a correction to a faulty question mid-exam, and see reliability reports as the sitting runs. Proctoring is one capability inside it, not the whole product.
Accommodations
Extra time and adjustments applied per student, live.
Student chat
Candidates raise issues without leaving the exam.
Mid-exam corrections
Fix a faulty question once, for every candidate.
Reliability reports
See how the paper is performing while it runs.
Built for the sittings that can’t fail
50,000 concurrent candidates
Cloud infrastructure proven on simultaneous sittings across dozens of campuses.
Offline resilience
Answers are held locally and reconciled on reconnect, so a dropped network is not a lost exam.
Chain of custody
Every action on the paper is timestamped and attributable, from authoring to release of results.
Accessibility built in
Screen reader support, adjustable typography, and per-student accommodations as standard.
LMS and SIS integration
Native connections to Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, and Brightspace, plus API and SAML SSO.
Compliance and residency
GDPR compliant with regional data residency, ISO 27001, and SOC 2.
“Tomax freed us from the worldwide paper-exam headache. Now integrity is guaranteed and logistics take seconds, not months.”

Common questions
Yes, and most institutions do. The same question banks, policy settings, and reporting apply to both modalities, so a department can move a sitting from paper to screen without rebuilding the paper or retraining staff.
