Reclaiming Your Sundays: 5 Ways Imtihan Automates Tasks

Imtihan automates the five slowest parts of writing an exam — finding a scenario, formatting it, writing the corrigé, building a second version, and checking curriculum alignment — so a draft that used to take 3–4 hours on a Sunday takes closer to 10 minutes to generate and review.

The Hidden Cost of Assessment

When you spend 4 hours on a single assessment, that's 4 hours you aren't spending on lesson planning or student mentorship. Internationally, the OECD's 2024 TALIS survey found teachers report spending only about 43% of their working time on actual instruction — the rest goes to planning, grading, and administration, and exam drafting sits squarely inside that non-teaching share.

Teacher's Tip

“Drafting a solution key from scratch is usually the single slowest part of Sunday exam prep. Generating the exam and corrigé together the night before, instead of writing the key separately afterward, is what gives most of that time back.”

5 Ways to Save Time Today

Imtihan automates the most time-consuming parts of your workflow. In order, a typical 4-hour Sunday prep session usually breaks down like this:

  • Roughly 1 hour hunting for a scenario that fits the chapter without repeating last term's numbers.
  • Roughly 1.5 hours writing the corrigé, step by step, after the questions are already finished.
  • 30–45 minutes building a second version so two sections can't compare answers.
  • The remaining time reformatting equations, tables, and spacing so the file actually prints cleanly.

Each of those four steps maps to one of the automations below.

1. Instant Scenario Generation

Stop looking for that perfect physics problem. Describe the concept, and Imtihan builds the scenario for you, grounded in the chapter you specify.

2. Automatic Corrigé Drafting

The longest part of exam prep is writing the solution. Imtihan drafts the full, step-by-step key simultaneously, with methodology shown at every step — not just the final number.

3. Multi-Section Variations

Need Version A and Version B? One click generates a sibling exam with different values but identical difficulty, so adjacent sections can't copy off each other.

4. Granular Per-Exercise Edits

Not happy with one exercise out of five? Regenerate, tighten, loosen, or hand-edit that single question instead of restarting the whole exam.

5. Print-Ready Export

Download the finished exam and corrigé as a formatted Word document or PDF, ready to print — no re-formatting equations or tables by hand.

Working Smarter

None of this replaces your judgment as a teacher — Imtihan drafts a baseline you still review, edit, and approve exercise by exercise, and every chapter it can reference is checked against the actual curriculum so it can't quietly drift off-syllabus. What it removes is the blank-page problem: the hour spent staring at an empty document before you've even started drafting the first question.

Imtihan gives you the tools to provide high-quality assessments while preserving your mental health — your first exam is free to try, with no card required, before any paywall applies.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much of a teacher's week actually goes to admin work like exam drafting?

The OECD's 2024 TALIS survey — the largest international survey of teachers — found that teaching itself makes up only around 43% of a teacher's self-reported working time; the rest is planning, grading, administration, and related tasks. Assessment drafting is one of the largest single pieces of that non-teaching time.

Does Imtihan replace a teacher's own judgment on what to include?

No. It drafts a baseline — questions, scenarios, and a corrigé — that you review and edit exercise by exercise. Every generated chapter is checked against the actual curriculum, but the final call on what ships to students stays with the teacher.

What exactly do I get back after generating an exam?

A complete exam with a matching corrigé that includes worked methodology (not just final answers), exportable to Word and PDF, with the option to generate a second version (Version A/B) and to regenerate, edit, or re-difficulty any single exercise afterward.
