Use the Archived Programmes option in the External Exams Manager module to manage exam programmes. Archived programmes are the programmes that are not currently active in your school.
Programmes link subjects and exam options to imported BaseData. Once BaseData is imported it is automatically pulled in and matched with programmes and the corresponding options. Each programme is displayed across all the exam cycles you create in iSAMS so you do not have to repeat the process with each new exam cycle.
- You must create a programme for each subject and level of qualification (GCSE and A Level) taught in your school.
- Archived Programmes will not display any data for the selected exam cycle until BaseData has been imported.
- You must create a new programme if you change exam board for a subject.
- It is recommended that you create a single programme for GCEs, rather than separate ones for AS and A2.
To use the Archived Programmes option:
- Open the External Exams Manager module and select the BaseData tab.
- Select Archived Programmes from the right hand menu (this screen is completely blank when you first start working with the External Exams Manager module):
Use the drop down list in the header bar to select the exam cycle that you want to work with.
Create a programme for each subject and level of qualification taught in your school.
Once programmes have been created, choose to:Add options to each programme. Options are the qualifications and components of each qualification.
Once options have been added, choose to:- Options may display as unmatched if the corresponding BaseData has not yet been imported.
- Programmes may display as unmatched if exam options are not relevant in the exam cycle you are working in.
- Select Hide Unmatched in the header bar to temporarily clear the screen of any unmatched programmes and options for the selected exam cycle.
