Accessible to School Admins and Leaders of subject areas, the Published Assessment feature allows you to add a replica of the full paper structure set by the exam board to any of your classes. These are all at Question Level and Section Level Analysis.

What if the exam structure is fixed?

This is known as a repeatable paper.

  • Pupil Progress allows you to add an exact replica as a repeatable.

  • When sitting multiple mocks you will be able to see the impact of your teaching from paper to paper.

  • Common examples of subjects that might use repeatable papers include English, Music, and Drama.

What if the exam structure varies from series to series?

This is known as a non repeatable paper. We have uploaded the published papers at Question Level Analysis (QLA) from every exam series from 2017, following the launch of the new specification. When adding a non repeatable paper:

  • Select the paper that you are using (e.g. June 2018) from the dropdown menu

  • All questions will will be tagged against the related topic area, allowing for the Topic Summary to highlight each pupil's topic areas of weakness as a percentage value

  • If there is a paper published by an exam board that is not currently available on the site, please send us a PDF unedited attachment using the Help Centre icon on the bottom right of the screen.

What if my students only sat parts of a past paper?

  • Create this altered version of a past paper as a Customised Assessment

  • Include the relevant questions and using QLA to link these to the topics in the Topic Summary section

  • Take a look at the article below for further guidance on adding these:


Use these simple steps to add pre-loaded past papers to your trackers and you'll be able to choose the most relevant papers, quickly enter data, calculate grades and identify areas for improvement through QLA.
