Funnilly enough, I am grading an exam written in org-mode = right now.=C2=A0 I use the exam class from the ctan archives and set org-la= tex-classes to have an entry that looks like this:

= =C2=A0 ("exam" "\\documentclass[12pt, addpoints, answers]{ex= am}"
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 ("\\begin{questions}%%%s"= ; "\\end{questions}" "\\begin{questions}%%%s" "\\e= nd{questions}")
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 ("\\begin{question= }%%%s" "\\end{question}" "\\begin{question*}%%%s" = "\\end{question*}")
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 ("\\begin= {parts}%%%s" "\\end{parts}" "\\begin{parts}%%%s" &= quot;\\end{parts}")
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 ("\\begin{part= }[%s]" "\\end{part}" "\\begin{part*}[%s]" "\\= end{part*}")
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 ("\\begin{solution}[%= s]" "\\end{solution}" "\\begin{solution}[%s]" &quo= t;\\end{solution}"))

After some latex header = stuff, the structure looks like this where the first question has three par= ts worth 6, 7 and 7 points.
* Questions
** First questi= on
text of first question
*** Rubric :noexport:
*** parts
**** 6
text of first part
**** 7=
text of second part
**** 7
text of third par= t
** second question

[...]
I can send a copy of the orgfile or the produced pdf to any int= erested parties. =C2=A0(It seems like maybe attaching files of any size to = an email to this list is maybe not good etiquette, but I am a first time po= ster, so what do I know?)

If anyone else does some= thing like this, but knows what they are doing and thus does it better, I&#= 39;d love to hear about it.
