What ZipGrade is
ZipGrade helps teachers grade paper multiple-choice quizzes with a mobile app and review the results. Teachers can scan answer sheets using an iPhone, iPad, or Android device, and scanning works without an internet connection. Forms are available for 20, 50, and 100 questions, as well as custom forms with configurable questions, answers, and labels. Supported response types include multiple choice, true/false, matching, and gridded numeric entry. ZipGrade provides item analysis, including Discriminant Factor, and lets teachers export captured data to CSV. The Student Portal supports assigning online quizzes and posting results from online or in-person quizzes. Results and student data can also be exported as files or sent directly to gradebook software or a learning management system. The free plan allows 100 papers per month with unlimited quizzes, students, and classes. The paid plan costs $6.99/yr as a non-recurring subscription and removes the paper limit.
