Exams and Assessments

School admins manage exam setup from class-section pages and the exam schedule workbook. These tools define the assessment structure that teachers later use for marks entry.

Create or manage exams from a section

Open a class section and use the Exams area to:

• create an exam for that section
• edit the exam name, subject, date, max marks, and pass marks
• unlock a locked exam when marks need to be corrected
• delete an exam when it should no longer exist

Calendar override options

Each exam can control the timetable in one of three ways:

• Do nothing in calendar: keeps the exam out of the calendar
• Override classes only in exam time: hides overlapping timetable periods only during the exam window
• Remove all other classes on exam day: clears the rest of the timetable for that date

Use full-day removal only when the section should not follow its normal schedule at all.

Exam schedule workbook

Use Admin > Exams Import when the school needs to create or update many exams at once.

The workbook flow supports:

• one Exams sheet
• preview before apply
• create, update, ignored, and error row results
• optional timed or full-day calendar overrides per row

Recommended flow

1. Confirm the section timetable and subject mapping first.
2. Use manual exam creation for a small number of tests.
3. Use the workbook for larger exam schedules or term-wide rollout.
4. Review calendar impact before applying overrides.
5. Unlock marks only when a correction is genuinely required.

Good controls

• Keep exam names consistent across sections.
• Set pass marks only when the assessment uses a pass threshold.
• Re-check the calendar after workbook apply when an exam changes timetable visibility.
