Candidate Entry Report

Use the Candidate Entry Report in the External Exams Manager module to review and check the entries for a selected candidate or group of candidates in an exam cycle. Candidates and parents can check the entries and contact the exam administrator if any changes need to be made.

• Staff can also use the External Exams wizard in the wizard bar to check exam entries.
• Candidate entries can also be linked to the Parent Portal and Pupil Portal for entries to be checked online.
