How to add a new exam for marks entry by teachers
To add a new exam where teachers are expected to key-in marks, go to 'Home' view then select 'Exams' from the menu and click the 'Add Exam' button as shown below by the red arrow.
Fill in the details of your exam such as name, type, academic year, term etc. Sematime already comes with a default grading system but you can add your own or edit it as needed. We support both overall and subject-specific grading system.
Then enroll all the students taking this exam by typing in the class names or even individual student IDs (admission numbers) or names in the red box as shown in this image.
By default, the students will sit exam papers for all the subjects set for each year group but you can change this by clicking the 'Papers To Test' tab. Here you can specify the number of papers to test for each class and even specify different maximum scores per paper.
You may specify the criteria to be used to rank students in this exam by clicking the down arrow '⌄'. We support ranking by total marks, mean score or points. Also choose the number of subjects used to rank for each year group.
Your exam is now successfully created and teachers can begin to input raw student marks. The system shows marks entry progress for each subject as teachers keep on feeding data. You can click on the 'View Marks' button to see what has been entered, what's missing or to even input marks for your respective classes.
