# What do I do if I only have data for part of a unit?

## This article will show you how to calculate a grade for a partially completed unit.

If you have only partly completed a past paper, instead of adding the data into the section already in your tracker, you will need to create a Customised Assessment for the marks in your adapted paper. This is because entering your data into the tracker's default columns will mean your students are assessed against the unedited grade boundaries, rather than a set that is scaled for the assessment they have taken.

 

This short video will walk you through the steps of **[adding a Customised Assessment](https://support.pupilprogress.com/helpcentre/how-to-add-your-own-tests?hsLang=en)** so that you can calculate a grade from a partially completed exam paper.

Once you have added the Customised Assessment, your students' marks will be scaled so that they can be accurately compared against the grade boundaries on the tracker, and thus give a grade for this assessment.

If you have completed the assessment in two parts, you are able to retrospectively copy the data from the Customised Assessment you created into the default Published Assessment on the tracker using **[Pupil Progress' Bulk Edit feature](https://support.pupilprogress.com/helpcentre/how-to-use-bulk-edit?hsLang=en)**, to then ensure your students can get one grade for the paper.
