Five tabs

Click Marks & Exams in the left sidebar. The page is called Exams & Results and has five tabs: 1. Exams, 2. Enter Marks, 3. Results & Report Cards, 4. Co-scholastic Grades and 5. Report Card Templates. This page covers the first two.

2. Enter marks

  • 1Choose the Exam, Class and Section (or All sections), and click Load Student Sheet.
  • 2Type each student's marks in the subject column. Press Tab to move to the next box. Total, % and Grade update as you type.

Grades come from the Grade Scale in School Settings, or from the grade scale on the class's report card template. For example, with A1 from 91%, A2 from 81% and B1 from 71%, a student on 78% gets B1.

Next: results and report cards

When the marks are in, you can publish them with Publish Results on the marks grid, or open 3. Results & Report Cards to see the class ranked, create report card PDFs and publish the results to parents. Each student's marks also appear on their profile's Marks tab. See Report Cards.
