AI exam preparation can help with drafting questions, worked solutions and editable documents. The practical goal is to reduce repeated work while leaving time to solve the paper, check its difficulty and review every answer before students receive it.

The Hidden Cost of Assessment

Teacher workload: context from TALIS 2024

Teacher's Tip

“Draft the questions and worked solutions together. Then solve the paper independently before reviewing the generated corrigé; this makes errors and missing assumptions easier to spot.”

5 Ways to Save Time Today

Start by identifying which parts of your own preparation are repetitive. The steps below are a workflow to try, not a measured claim about how many hours every teacher saves.

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.

A practical example for your classroom

Adapt this teacher brief to your level and the chapters actually taught:

Create a 45-minute classroom assessment on the chapters I select. Include a clear marks allocation and a worked answer key. Keep each question independent so I can replace one exercise without changing the whole exam.

Before giving the paper to students

Time drafting, checking solutions and formatting separately. Compare your own before-and-after totals; an AI draft still needs a full teacher review.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

The OECD’s TALIS 2024 report distinguishes classroom instruction from planning, marking and administration. These international findings explain why preparation deserves attention, but do not measure Imtihan’s time savings or the workload of Lebanese teachers specifically.

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.
