Within the Subject Analysis, all graphs and tables provide 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.

Class Summary

The Class Summary table gives you a clear comparison of how all classes in the selected subject area are performing. It displays how close students are to the desired A8 and P8 scores, as well as how they're performing in comparison to their MTG.
