FAQ

We don't host or sell practice exams ourselves, but plenty are available on the Internet — try searching for a term such as "ote exam files". If you already have study material of your own — a PDF study guide, past paper, or a set of notes — it's usually faster to build your own assessment from it than to search for a ready-made one.

There's no separate conversion step — open the Import Wizard from a new or existing assessment and point it at your PDF, XPS, or TXT file; it walks you through the process and automatically flags duplicate questions along the way. See our full Content Creation & Import Options page for every other way to bring content into Loorex, including AI-assisted creation via MCP, a browser extension, and clipboard paste.

There's no limit on the number of devices you can use Loorex on — feel free to switch between your phone, tablet, and computer as you like. The only restriction is that a single account can have one active session running at a time.

Yes — you can export any of your assessments as a .ote file at any time, so your questions and answers stay yours even if you stop using Loorex. If you decide to close your account entirely, see the Account & Plans section for how account deletion works.

Yes. Loorex is designed to be self-explanatory — most people know exactly where to go and what to do without needing a manual. But if you do get stuck, just contact us and we'll help you out.

Yes. The free account is not a limited trial — you can create, edit, import, and publish your own assessments, courses, and learning paths without paying anything. Paid plans simply raise the limits on things like assessment storage, monthly imports, and how often you can run a simulation. See the Features Overview for the full list of what's included.

Yes. Loorex runs entirely in the browser, so there is nothing to install, and every feature is fully compatible with modern mobile devices — you can build, take, or manage assessments and courses from a phone, tablet, or desktop.

Yes. The test engine can be embedded directly into your own website, so visitors can take it without ever leaving your page.

We take the privacy of your account and content seriously. For the full details on what we collect and how it's used, see our Privacy Policy.

• Quiz — A short, informal assessment. Suitable for quick knowledge checks, warm-ups, or low-stakes practice.
  The standard introduction page is optional: if both the introduction page and the description page are turned off, the quiz begins immediately upon opening.
  For Quizzes only, the "Check Answer" option is available, allowing the applicant to check their answer.
• Test — A standard assessment with a structured introduction page. Suitable for graded exercises, chapter reviews, and mid-level certification preparation.
• Exam — A formal, high-stakes assessment. Includes a detailed introduction page with proctoring guidelines and strict rules. Suitable for professional certifications and official evaluations.

You select the type when editing an assessment. The type controls the starting screen shown to participants and the wording used throughout the experience.

Our test engine supports a variety of interactive question types designed to evaluate knowledge in different formats — from classic multiple-choice questions to advanced image-based interactions. You can mix and match types freely within a single assessment.
You can explore all available question types in action by taking the Question Types Overview test.

• Single Choice
  

  Learners select one answer from several options. Only one option is correct.

• Multiple Choice
  

  Learners may select several answers. The question is correct only when all required options are chosen.

• Drag & Drop (Image-Based)
  

  Learners drag blocks onto corresponding target areas on an image. The placement of each block determines correctness.

• Point & Shoot (Image-Based)
  

  Learners place one or more markers directly on the image. The answer is correct when markers are positioned in the required locations.

• Hot Area (Image-Based)
  

  Learners click one or more predefined zones on an image. Selecting the correct hot area(s) completes the question.

• Sort / Reorder
  

  Learners arrange answer items into the correct sequence.

• Text Input
  

  Learners type their answer manually. The input is checked against one or more accepted answer variants, with adjustable matching strictness (for example, whether case matters).

Every assessment is scored either by the percentage of correct answers or by points gained. On top of that, you can choose a "Grades" evaluation method, which lets you define your own named, colored score bands (for example, "Distinction," "Pass," "Fail") each with its own score range and a rich-text description shown to the test-taker based on where their score falls. Grades can be copied from one assessment to another, so you don't have to rebuild them each time.

A Case Study is a shared scenario or passage — a block of rich text, optionally with images — that you write once and then link to any number of questions. When a test-taker reaches a linked question, the case study text is shown alongside it, so several questions can reference the same background material instead of repeating it in every question.

Loorex.com gives you several ways to build or bring in content — from asking an AI assistant to create it for you, to more traditional file-based import. See the full Content Creation & Import Options page for details, or a quick summary here:

• AI Assistant (MCP) – The fastest option: hand an AI assistant your own materials — notes, a manual, past papers — and ask it to prepare a course, an assessment, or a full learning path tailored to your needs, in minutes. See our AI, API & Automation questions for details.
• Import Wizard – File-based import supporting PDF, XPS, and TXT documents.
• Browser Extension (Chrome / Firefox) – Migrate tests and exam content directly from websites.
• Clipboard Import – Quickly create questions and answer options by pasting structured text (CTRL+V) directly into the Test Editor.
• Public API – Programmatically create and modify tests using the public API.
• Upload a File – You can upload a file containing structured test information. Our team will process the file and create the test for you.

These methods can be used individually or in combination to build assessments and courses from multiple sources.

A Course is a set of ordered Learning Pages — rich-text reading material, presented with an automatic table of contents. A Learning Path groups multiple courses and assessments together into one sequence, so you can combine reading material and testing into a single guided flow. A Learning Path can also enforce strict order, locking each unit until the previous one is completed.

Yes. Progress is tracked automatically at the page level within a course, and rolled up into an overall completion percentage for the course itself and for any Learning Path it's part of.

Yes. A Learning Path can combine any of your existing courses and assessments into one sequence — you don't need to duplicate content to reuse it across multiple paths.

When you publish an assessment, course, or learning path, you choose from several access types: fully open to anyone with the link, gated behind a registration form, a registration form that requires your manual approval before access is granted, or restricted entirely to a closed group using an access code.

Yes. Publish settings let you set an open/close date window and cap the maximum number of attempts allowed per person.

The Registrations page lists everyone who signed up for or accessed what you published, and the Score Reports page shows the results — both accessible from within Loorex, no exporting required.

Yes. Registration confirmations and access codes are sent out automatically by email, so you don't have to notify people manually.

Both cover the same ground — assessments (with their questions, grades and case studies) and courses (with their learning pages) — but they're meant for different audiences. The Public API is for developers writing their own scripts or integrations, authenticated with an API key you generate yourself. The MCP server is built for AI assistants: you connect it through a standard sign-in and permission screen, approve exactly what the AI can access, and it can then build or edit content on your behalf using natural-language requests.

For most people, MCP is the one to try first — no coding required. For example, you could hand your AI assistant a set of lecture notes or past exam papers and ask it to prepare a complete course, assessment, or learning path tailored to your specific needs, built directly in your account in minutes.

Yes, at any time. Every application you've connected through MCP is listed on the Connected Apps page in your profile, and revoking access there takes effect immediately.

From the API Keys page in your profile. Keys are shown only once when created, so store them somewhere safe.

No. Creating a free account requires no credit card and no payment information — you get full creation and publishing power right away.

Imported assessments remain available to you for a stated period after your subscription ends (the exact length depends on your plan), so you can still use the Online Test Engine and review questions and answers during that window.

You can request account deletion from your profile settings. We'll send a confirmation email before the deletion is finalized, so it isn't accidental.
