Assess: class assessments and mastery

Choose what you want to check, let Pip write the questions, and see who has it and who needs another go.

What it does

Pick a year level from 4 to 13 and up to 10 focuses, in your own words. Choose a level (Developing, Standard or Exceeding) and the question types: multiple choice, short answer, extended answer and show your working. Before questions are saved, Heapso checks each one can be answered from what it says and works out number answers in code.

Students join at heapso.com/assess with your class code or a QR code, pick their name and type the PIN you give them. Multiple choice and simple short answers are marked straight away. Written answers and working are marked by AI, each with a short reason, and marks Pip is unsure of are flagged. You accept or change any mark, and your mark is what counts.

Mastery builds up for each student and each focus, with 75% counting as mastered. The class grid shows common mistakes for each question, and one click gives each student a gap assessment on only the focuses they haven't mastered yet.

Who it's for

Teachers of Years 4–13 who want a quick, regular check on what their class has learned, in maths or any other subject.

Questions teachers ask

Do students need accounts?

No. Students go to heapso.com/assess, type the class code (or scan the QR code), pick their name and type the 4-digit PIN you give them. You add the class list in Classes by pasting it or uploading a CSV file.

What happens to students' names?

Only you can see your class list and results; your school's admins can't. Before any work goes to an AI provider for marking, names become Student A, Student B and so on, and other personal details are replaced with placeholders. Results are deleted 18 months after the class's last assessment.

Does AI marking use credits?

No. AI marking is included on Pro and school plans under fair use. The Free plan includes 40 marked student submissions a month.

Which subjects does it cover?

Any subject from Year 4 to Year 13. Maths has the most support so far, with working templates for Years 4–10.
