What QIE is (and is not)
The Question Intelligence Engine (QIE) helps educators draft exam content — it does not replace academic judgment. Every AI-generated item must be reviewed, edited, and explicitly selected before students see it.
SafeExam Platform is not an auto-exam factory. QIE is a productivity layer for examination teams who already own content quality.
How generation works
- Educators set subject, topic, difficulty, and question count in the Exam Wizard
- QIE pulls from your institution's question pool first
- Any shortfall is filled with structured AI drafts (MCQ, coding, or mixed)
- Mixed exams can generate MCQ and coding batches in parallel
- Educators preview, deselect, and edit before publish
Educator review checklist (required)
- Read every question stem and every answer option
- Verify coding test cases and expected outputs
- Reject or edit items that are ambiguous or factually wrong
- Never publish because the count matched — publish because the content is correct
Why institutions use QIE
- Faster first drafts for department exams and mock tests
- Consistent structure for MCQ and coding items
- Cost-aware prompts — pool-first reduces unnecessary AI calls
- Honest workflow: AI drafts, educators approve
Privacy & third-party AI
Prompts (subject, difficulty, counts) are sent to configured third-party AI providers (e.g. via OpenRouter). Generated content is stored for educator review before any live exam. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Frequently asked questions
Can students see AI-generated questions without educator review?+
No. Questions only reach students after an educator selects them during exam preview and publishes the exam.
What if AI returns fewer questions than requested?+
Adjust subject or difficulty and retry, or add items manually. Pool coverage and prompt settings affect yield.
Does QIE support coding questions?+
Yes. QIE can draft coding problems with sample and hidden test case structures. Educators must verify test cases before publish.
Is AI question generation required?+
No. Educators can author exams entirely manually or from the question pool without using QIE.
