Pinpoint Learning is an excellent tool for Maths teachers and leaders, offering QLA analysis and personalised revision booklets for students based on their weaknesses in any assessment.
With Pinpoint's QLA Converter, you can convert your Pupil Progress assessment data into a format compatible for upload to Pinpoint.
This guide covers how to export your data in Pupil Progress, use the QLA Converter, and upload your data to Pinpoint Learning to create study resources.
Step 1: Export your assessment data
Once you have entered marks for a Published Assessment in any of your Maths classes, you can then download the data for importing into Pinpoint. To do this:
From the tracking homepage, select Live Tracking for the class you want to download data for.
Select Tools in the left menu, then choose DOWNLOAD.
Open the file within your Downloads folder. You will then need to remove all data that isn't relevant to your assessment QLA. This includes:
The top three rows of unit information
The Average row
All additional columns of assessment data and grades
Following this, you should be left with only students First Name, Last Name, and the assessment QLA.
Select File > Save As... and choose .csv as the File Format.
Step 2: Convert your QLA
Once you've exported your Pupil Progress assessment QLA, open Pinpoint Learning to convert it and create your report booklets.
The QLA Converter can be found on Pinpoint Learning once you go to upload a QLA for a class. You can also access it here.
Log in to Pinpoint using a School Login, select Upload Your QLA in the top menu.
If you've used Pinpoint for this class previously, select Yes, the class already have logins. Alternatively, select No I am uploading for a brand new class (classes for the first time).
Select the Test (this should match the one exported from Pupil Progress), Year Group, Test Conditions, and enter the Date the test was taken.
Choose to upload for One Class.
Enter the Class Code (name) and Teacher.
Select the Pupil Progress Schools button to open the QLA Converter.
Click Choose file below the QLA table and select the csv file you exported from Pupil Progress earlier.
Scroll down to the Pinpoint QLA section and select Export to CSV to download the converted QLA which has been converted to Pinpoint format.
Return to the Pinpoint QLA Upload page, click Choose file and select the QLA file you just converted, then click Submit.
Step 3: Create resources on Pinpoint Learning
Once your QLA has been successfully uploaded, you'll immediately see your EQLA Table, which shows a breakdown of topics along with your class' Averages and Pinpoint Averages.
To create revision booklets, select Continue to the booklets here. You can then choose to remove any topics you haven't assessed yet.
To download booklets for all students in a single PDF for printing, select Whole Class Booklets To Print, then select Create Class Booklets.
Or to download a booklet for an individual student, scroll down to the class list and select Individual Booklet PDF next to the relevant student.
💡 If you're printing the booklets, we recommend printing two pages per side and double-sided to save paper.
