GradeMaker

GradeMaker Pro is a secure, cloud-based assessment authoring and item banking platform designed to improve the quality, efficiency, and security of test development for exam providers. Part of AQA Global Assessment Services, it allows teams to collaborate on, track, and output high-stakes assessments for both print and digital formats.

Requirements and system capabilities

GradeMaker is designed as a modern SaaS (Software as a Service) solution, meaning it is built to be accessible, secure, and flexible to meet complex test development needs.

Browser-based & technical requirements

GradeMaker is a cloud‑based application, meaning no software installation is required. It is accessed through a modern web browser on a desktop or laptop computer. GradeMaker does not support mobile devices. For the best experience, we recommend using Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
