Overview
Open Test Results in the sidebar, pick a batch, add a test, enter the marks. Results stay private to you until you publish them.
Setting up a test
- Press Add test.
- Title, subject, the date it was held, marks out of, and optionally a pass mark.
- Add a note if you want the students to see one when the result comes out — "Q4 was outside the syllabus and has been dropped for everyone".
Entering marks
The mark sheet lists the batch. Type a score, or tick Absent. Each student can also carry a private remark — that is for you and your colleagues and is never shown to the student or their parents.
The class average, highest and lowest update as you go, so an impossible mark usually announces itself before you have finished the sheet.
Absent is not zero
The same holds on the student's own record and on their report card: an absence is shown as an absence, not as a nought.
Publishing results
A test is invisible to students until you press Publish. Mark the whole batch, check it, then release it — nobody sees a half-finished sheet, and nobody sees their own result before you have decided the marking is right.
Unpublishing hides it again.
Weight
Each test has a weight, one by default. Give a monthly test a weight of three and a weekly test a weight of one, and the term average on the report card reflects what actually mattered.
What students and parents see
- Their own mark, the class average, out of how many, and your note.
- Published tests only.
- Never the private remark.
- Never another student's mark.
Parents see exactly what their own child sees, read-only, on the Results tab of their dashboard.
