This feature allows **School Admins** and **Leaders of subject areas** to add a replica of the full paper structure that the exam board has set to their classes. These are all at Question Level and Section Level Analysis.   You can use the shortcut to **add a paper** directly from your tracker. If you click on the **Tools** toggle in your tracker and then select "**Add Published Assessment**" you will be taken to the same page to setup your paper but your qualification will have been automatically selected for you. ![Add PA from tracker](https://support.pupilprogress.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Add%20PA%20from%20tracker.gif?width=688&height=344&name=Add%20PA%20from%20tracker.gif) ### ***What if the exam structure is fixed?*** This is known as a *repeatable* paper. The system will allow you to add an exact replica as a repeatable. When sitting multiple mocks you will be able to see the impact of your teaching from paper to paper. Common examples of subjects that might use repeatable papers are English, Music, and Drama. ### ***What if the exam structure varies from series to series?*** This is known as a *non repeatable* paper. We are uploading the published papers at Question Level Analysis from every single exam series from 2017 following the launch of the new specification. Simply select the paper that you are using (e.g. June 2018) from the dropdown menu - all questions will will be tagged against the related topic area, so that the [**Topic Summary**](https://support.pupilprogress.com/helpcentre/topic-summaries?hsLang=en) will highlight the topic areas of weakness as an easy to interpret percentage value. If the published assessment you're looking for is not listed in the dropdown menu, please get in touch with us at *[support@pupilprogress.com](mailto:support@pupilprogress.com)* and we'll look into adding this for you. ### *What if my students only sat parts of a past paper?* You can create this altered version of a past paper as a Custom Assessment, including the relevant questions and using Question Level Analysis to link these to the topics in the [Topic Summary](https://support.pupil-progress.co.uk/helpcentre/topic-summaries?hsLang=en) section.
