## Plom’s benefits

• Respects privacy of student data – all data stays on your server, and markers do not see student name or ID when working.

• Easy multi-versioned tests – designed to handle crowded classrooms and multi-section courses over multiple days.

• Simplify logistics and minimizes paper-handling.

• Free – Plom is both [Libre](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratis_versus_libre#Libre) and [Gratis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratis_versus_libre#Gratis). No software to buy, and no subscriptions to pay.
