Setting Up Names And Allocating Marks For Your CA/Exams

Setting up Names and marks for your CA and Exams is a process or activity that must also be done every term for each class in your school(one after the other) before any CA/Exam scores entry is done for that term.

This allows you to determine the number of Continuous Assessments(CA) you wish to have and how you wish to label or name your Continuous Assessments and Exam. For Example some call it Quiz while some call it test and some still call it continuous assessment(CA).

Whatever you call yours, please label it accordingly.

Marks allocation to your CAs and your Exam is also totally under your control. While some take two CAs and one exam with a total score of 40 for their CA and a total score of 60 for their exam, others may decide to do 30 marks for CAs and 70 Marks for the exam. The system allows you to set it according to your preference.

This basically allows you to determine the total score alloted for your Continuous Assessments(CA) and the total score allotted for your exam. The number of CAs you choose is also dependent on whatever the school prefers.

To setup names and allocate marks for your CA and Exams

  1. After setting and saving your grading system for the class for the term
  2. Click on the adjacent button with label - CA/Exam Mark & Label
  3. Choose the class to set label for
  4. Choose session
  5. Choose term and it finally brings you to the page below
  6. Click on the ADD MARK button to add a title or label, declare the score or points it should have and declare it as either CA or EXAM as shown below -
  7. This feature allows you to declare the number of continuous assessments you want to have and the points or marks you want to allocate to each of them and allows you to label it or name it as you like. It also enables you to determine the total points or marks you want to allocate for your exam as shown below -
  8. In the picture above, a school has set two CAs and named them TEST and QUIZ with 20 points each and 60 points for the exam.
  9. Another school could decide to name its own CAs and EXAMS differently with different points allocation to each as shown below -

So each school has the liberty to determine how many CAs they want to have and what name they call their CAs and Exam as well as the distribution of points or marks.

This must be done each term for every single class in the school. This is to allow schools who want their local classes to have a different grading system from the higher classes.
