How do Customised Assessments calculate grades?

Regardless of the maximum marks available on your test, adding a customised assessment will scale to ensure relevance.

Oftentimes, one of your classes' tests may not match up exactly with the exam board's specification, perhaps by removing certain topics to only assess specific areas. Pupil Progress is designed to support this by automatically scaling marks to match what the exam board sets.

As an example, the OCR GCSE Computer Science Unit 1 is assessed via an exam with a maximum mark of 80, with this class having already completed 2 full past papers.

The screenshot below shows that a Customised Assessment has been added with a maximum mark of 50, in order to only test certain areas. In the column directly to the right, you are able to see the scaled mark if this had been a full past paper:

You are able to enter your students' marks in real time, with these automatically scaling to the exam board's specification, and giving them a grade accordingly based on the boundaries you have set to the right hand side of this.

This will work for tests both above and below the maximum marks available for a unit assessment, and helps to ensure that your tracking and monitoring data stays accurate to exam board specification.
