How Do I Create Groups or Classes?

Learn how to create groups in ExamLive. Name a group, pick its members, and assign private tests to it so only they can take them.

Why use groups?

Groups let you limit who takes a test. Instead of sharing a link anyone can use, you assign a test to specific groups, and only their members can access it. For example:

  • "Period 3" gets a different test than "Period 5"
  • "Sales Team" takes a compliance test that "Engineering" doesn't

Creating a group

  1. Open Groups from the sidebar.
  2. Click New Group.
  3. Give it a name (for example, "Grade 10 - Biology").
  4. Use the member picker below the name field to add people. It searches your organization as you type, so you can add members without scrolling.
  5. Optionally check Notify to let everyone you added know they joined the group, delivered in-app, by email, and as a push notification.
  6. Click Create Group.

You can also create a group on the fly while assigning a test to a group.

Editing a group

Open the three-dot menu and choose Edit Group. Rename it, add or remove members, then click Save Changes.

Deleting a group

Open the three-dot menu on a group and choose Delete Group, or select several rows and delete them in one go. Deleting only removes the group itself. Members stay in your organization; they just leave that group.

Assigning a test to a group

In a test's settings, find the Sharing Mode option:

  • Public: anyone with the link can take it.
  • Private: only members of the groups you select can take it. You must pick at least one group.

From the Tests page you can also open a test's three-dot menu and choose Assign to Group to change this later. See Publish & Share a Test for how participants get access.

What if I don't use groups?

They're optional. Keep every test public and share links directly, and you never need to create a group.
