How can I download a paper-based assessment?
Paper-based assessments are available for our pre-assessments and post-assessments. They're not available for our mid-assessments and topic assessments. Paper-based allows you to assess your students if they are unable to use an online device.

Uploading data for a paper-based assessment

Firstly, grab the ID number for the assessment, which can be located in the top left-hand corner of the assessment.
Click on the class the student is in and then their name.
From here, click Enter paper assessment results.
You will then be prompted to mark each question the student got correct.
Data will be presented the same way as if the student completed the assessment online. Underneath the range, you will be able to see a paper-based icon to identify that the assessment was completed on paper.
