Tech companies love to build features that look good in a boardroom. At Excelas, we build features based on what exhausted teachers actually ask for on a Sunday night.
As we gear up for the summer exam season, we’ve just rolled out a massive update across the ExamGPT platform. We haven't just upgraded the core "brain" of our AI; we’ve obsessed over the administrative friction—from saving your reprographics budget to fixing those annoying spreadsheet formatting bugs.
Here is a breakdown of what’s new in ExamGPT 2.5, and why your workflow just got significantly faster.
Multi-Page Intelligent Stitching
1. The "Brain" Upgrade: Unmatched Accuracy
Because high-stakes exams need specialized logic, not just general intelligence.
- ExamGPT 2.5 Pro is Here: We’ve upgraded our core "Max" and "Fast" modes. The system now better handles tabular data and complex formatting, outperforming generalist models. It even recognises critical keywords (like "contract" in GCSE Biology) with higher sensitivity.
- Multi-Page Intelligent Stitching: Students don't always write inside the lines. You can now specify exact page ranges; if a student starts an answer on page 5 and finishes it on the back of page 6, the AI automatically tracks, stitches, and marks the complete response.
- Bespoke Model Selection: One size doesn't fit all. You can now select different underlying AI models based on your specific department needs.
Auto-Insights & Email Notifications
2. The "Set and Forget" Workflow
We want you to spend less time staring at loading screens and more time teaching.
- Intelligent Page-Level QR Codes: This is the end of the "out of order" nightmare. By printing with our new mini QR codes, the system automatically reorders scans. If pages get mixed up in the feeder, the AI intelligently reforms the file so the right student always gets the right mark.
- Auto-Insights & Email Notifications: Don't watch the kettle boil. Upload your batch, close the tab, and go make a coffee. We’ll email you the second it’s done.
- "Reteach vs. Relearn" Analysis: Our new Shorter Insights report automatically identifies which questions need a whole-class reteach and which specific students need individual support.
Easy-Edit In-Browser Marksheets
3. Human-in-the-Loop: The "Live" Marksheet
Total control over your data without the "Legacy Tax."
- Easy-Edit In-Browser Marksheets: Need to moderate a mark? Just click the batch name to open a live, Excel-style sheet directly in your browser. Any changes you make save automatically. It’s the speed of AI with the final authority of the teacher.
- Clean Data for MATs: We’ve stripped out the annoying system symbols (no more weird $ or / breaking your VLOOKUPs). You get clean, import-ready CSVs for Arbor, SIMS, or your Trust-wide dashboard.

4. Bridging Paper and Digital: Student Mastery
Turning a static grade into an interactive learning experience.
- The Student "Full Feedback" QR Code: We now generate a unique QR code for every student. When scanned, it opens a secure page with their full diagnostic summary.
- Chatbot Integration: Students can now copy and paste their exam context directly into school-approved AI chatbots. Instead of struggling with a mark scheme, they can ask:
"Based on my paper, explain why I lost marks on Question 4."
Easy Class-mapping for Data Exports
5. Built for Budgets
Making life easier for School Business Leaders.
- Printing Cost Reductions: School budgets are tighter than ever. We’ve optimised our physical report exports, introducing grayscale options and refined layouts to drastically cut down on expensive colour printing costs.
The Conclusion
The goal of ExamGPT has always been to remove the "Legacy Tax" that keeps teachers buried in administration. With ExamGPT 2.5, your marking is faster, your data is cleaner, and your students are more empowered to act on their feedback.
