What does the Subject Analysis show me?

All graphs and tables presented within the Subject Analysis are designed to provide you with a detailed picture of students' performance in the chosen qualification, so that you can assess how each class is performing and compare subgroups as needed.

  • The Class Summary table gives you a quick comparison of how the classes in the selected subject area are performing, indicating how close to the desired A8 and P8 Scores students are, as well as how they're performing in comparison to their MTG.

Class Summary

  • The bar graph makes it easier to identify classes' performance compared to their established MTGs. The colour-coded key helps you spot at first glance which class is working at the best grades. In the image below for example, we can see that class 11 E2 has the highest number of students on track to achieve their target grade.
