Set up grade scales

Set up the grade scale your school uses for marks, and check the result rules in exam settings.

A grade scale tells EduHost which grade a student gets for their marks. Set it up before you enter marks, so results and report cards show the right grades.

Before you start

  • Have your school's grading list ready, for example from your board or your principal.
  • It helps to create your terms first. See Create exam terms.

Set up a grade scale

  1. In the sidebar, open Exams → Grade scale.
  2. Start a new grade scale.
  3. Add each grade with the range of marks it covers.
  4. Check that the grades cover all marks, with no gaps between them.
  5. Click Save.

Check the result rules

Result rules decide how EduHost works out a student's result. You find them in the exam settings.

  1. In the sidebar, open Exams → Settings.
  2. Read each rule and change any that do not match how your school gives results.
  3. Click Save.

Next step

When your grade scale and rules are ready, create your exams. See Create an exam and its schedule.

Good to know

  • Grade scales and result rules are part of every school's Exams module. You do not need to switch them on.
  • If you see "This page isn't part of your role", ask your school admin. They can give you access under Roles & Permissions.
  • Parents and students only see results after the school publishes them.
  • When you look at a past academic year, it is read-only.
