Introduction
Today, I'll be demonstrating the Exam Results module — used by teachers and administrators to enter student marks, calculate grades automatically, and prepare results for publication.
This module ensures accurate grading, transparent reporting, and reliable academic records.

📌 Important Note About Exam Scores
"The exam score represents the total score for a particular subject per term. For example, the combined total of exams and tests during a school term may be 70 marks (70%), while homework contributes 30 marks (30%), making a total of 100 marks (100%).
The score entered by the teacher as the exam score is the final combined score from both exams/tests and homework — that is, the aggregate score for the term in that subject. This total is then calculated by the system into a grade of A, B, C, D, or E, depending on the grading system used."

👥 Viewing by Class
Results can be viewed by class by selecting the appropriate filters.
This displays all students' marks in a tabular format, which can be printed or exported if needed.
👤 Viewing Individual Student Results
To view individual results:
Click the View Result icon
View a complete summary of that student's examination performance
From here, a student report card can also be printed
📢 Publishing Results
Once all marks have been entered and reviewed:
Publishing makes the results visible to students and parents, and allows report cards to be generated.
⚠️ Important: It's important to double-check all entries before publishing to avoid errors.
✏️ Editing Results and Audit Control
If corrections are needed:
Load the same exam, class, and subject
Make the necessary changes
Save again
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Audit Log | All changes are logged for audit purposes |
| Edit Restrictions | In some cases, editing may be restricted after results have been published |
🧮 Grade Calculation Explanation
Grades are calculated automatically using:
The student's marks
The maximum score
The configured grade scale
Example: A student who scores 78 out of 100 gets 78%, which may translate to a B+ grade, depending on the grading rules.
📊 Result Statistics Overview
The system also provides result statistics, including:
| Statistic | Description |
|---|---|
| Class average | Average score across all students |
| Highest score | Top performer |
| Lowest score | Bottom score |
| Pass rate | Percentage of students who passed |
| Grade distribution | Breakdown of grades (A, B, C, etc.) |
These insights help teachers and administrators evaluate overall class performance. This will be discussed further under the Reports module.
