Use the Coursework tab in the External Exams Manager module to enter each candidate's coursework marks. Coursework marks can then be forwarded to exam boards. Not all options require a coursework mark to forward to exam boards, this is determined by the imported BaseData for the exam cycle you are working with.
- Always check that you are working in the correct exam cycle; the BaseData containing exam programme details is specific to each exam cycle.
- Coursework marks can only be entered for the options that candidates have been entered for in the Entries tab.
- Exam boards may also accept coursework marks through a dedicated portal instead of via an EDI file.
The Coursework tab has a number of options in the right hand menu for you to work with:
| Option Category | Option | Use to... |
|---|---|---|
| View Coursework Marks | Programme Marks | View and enter coursework marks by searching through the exam programmes available in your selected cycle. This option is useful for entering coursework marks in bulk for a selected exam option. |
| Candidate Marks | Search for a specific candidate, form group or house and view their coursework marks.
| |
| EDI Coursework Marks | Create Coursework File | Create an EDI file once all coursework marks have been entered and checked for your exam programmes. Once created EDI files can then be uploaded to the appropriate exam board. |
| EDI Coursework History | View and download any of the EDI coursework files that have been created for the selected exam cycle. | |
| Coursework Reports | Candidate Report | Run a report to check candidate coursework marks across all exam programmes in a selected exam cycle. This is useful for distributing to candidates and parents for checking before the EDI file is created. |
| Component Report | Run a report to check candidate coursework marks for a specific exam programme or option in a selected exam cycle. This is useful for distributing to staff for checking before the EDI file is created. |
