From marks to result cards

Collect marks, apply your board’s grading scheme, and print result cards without a spreadsheet in the middle.

The problem

Marks travel by spreadsheet. Every teacher keeps a slightly different one, the grading scheme is applied by hand, and a late correction means reprinting a card without anyone recording why.

What changes

Examinations run end to end on the student record: teachers enter marks against their own classes, the grading scheme for your board is applied consistently, and result cards print from the record. A mark correction is recorded against the person who made it.

How it works

  1. Examinations, subjects and weightings are set up per class.
  2. Teachers enter marks for the classes they teach, and only those.
  3. Your provincial or federal board grading scheme is applied consistently across the cohort.
  4. Result cards are generated from the record, in Urdu or English.
  5. Corrections are recorded against a named user, and promotions preserve history rather than overwriting it.

What you get

  • One source for marks instead of one spreadsheet per teacher.
  • The grading scheme applied the same way for every student.
  • Mark corrections that are attributable rather than invisible.
  • History preserved across promotion and campus transfer.

In practice

Who it is for, and what setup involves

What you need before an examination

Your subject list per class with weightings, the grading scheme your board uses, your teaching assignments so each teacher can only enter marks for their own classes, and your result card layout. The layout is worth attending to early, because it is one of the few school documents a family keeps and compares year to year.

Where the time actually goes

Not in mark entry. Teachers enter marks for their own classes and that part is quick. The time goes into agreeing the weightings, which is often the first time a school writes down precisely how a final grade is composed from term tests, practicals and a final paper. Schools frequently discover that two departments have been doing it differently.

Why restricting entry by teaching assignment matters

It is not about distrust. It is that an open mark sheet has no answer to the question "who changed this". Once entry is bound to the teaching assignment, a mark has an owner, and a correction after publication is recorded against the person who made it.

That is what lets you reissue a result card and explain it. A school that can explain a corrected grade to a parent is in a very different position from one that can only reprint it.

Handling more than one scheme

Schemes are applied per examination, so a school following a provincial board and also running internal assessments does not have to force both onto one scale. Promotions preserve the previous year rather than overwriting it, which is what makes a comparison across years possible at all.

What it costs

Examinations are part of the school management subscription at PKR 1,000 a month for up to 200 students. There is no per-examination or per-result-card charge.

Terms

Terms used on this page

Plain definitions of the words a buyer here actually searches for.

Grading scheme
The grade boundaries applied to marks, set by a provincial or federal board and applied consistently across a cohort.
Weighting
How much each assessment contributes to a final grade, configured per class so a final mark is computed rather than assembled by hand.
Mark correction
A change to a published mark, recorded against the user who made it so a reissued result card can be explained rather than only reprinted.
Teaching assignment
The link between a teacher and the classes they teach, which is what restricts mark entry to the classroom a teacher was actually in.
Promotion
Moving a student to the next class at session end, preserving the previous year rather than overwriting it.
