Selecting a subject
Select either Stage 1 or Stage 2, then select a subject from the menu.
For Stage 1 subjects, you will now need to set the weightings. For Stage 2, you can begin adding students.
Setting the weightings (Stage 1 only)
For Stage 1 (after selecting a subject) you need to set the weighting for each assessment type, based on your subject's learning and assessment plan. Total weighting must equal 100%. Once weightings have been entered, select 'Set Weightings'.
For Stage 2 subjects, the weighting is automatically set and cannot be changed. The weighting for each assessment type is described in every subject outline.
Once the weightings are set, you can begin adding students.
Adding students and calculating grades
After selecting a subject and setting the weightings, you can add students and start calculating school assessment grades.
- Enter the student's ID or name (optional)
- Enter a grade for each assessment type (A to E for Stage 1 and A+ to Eā for Stage 2)
- Use 'Notes' to enter any other relevant information (optional)
- The final Stage 1 or final Stage 2 school assessment grade will be calculated automatically on the right.
Select 'Add Student' to add another row to the table, then repeat steps 1ā4 for each student.
