The Summary section at the far right side of a tracker shows both a current grade and an average unit grade, this calculation is based on all of the assessments on the tracker by default. However, if your tracker contains assessments that are no longer relevant, or you want your students' grades to only reflect a certain set of assessments (for example recent mock results), follow the steps listed below.
How can I change which assessments count towards students' overall grades?
⚠️ Please note: The video below is currently outdated due to recent updates to the platform, so please refer to the written steps below in the meantime.
Follow these 5 steps:
From the home page, hover over Tracking and select Assessments. You can also access this same menu from the tracker, by accessing the Tools menu on the left hand side, and then clicking Edit Assessments
Use the dropdown boxes to choose the classes you're looking to edit

From the Assessment list, you'll be able to view a full list of the assessments that are assigned to the corresponding specification and year group. To edit these, click Quick Edit from the top right corner
Tick and untick the boxes on this page as necessary. To stop an assessment from counting towards the overall grades, make sure to untick the box furthest to the left in the slightly darker column, under Count Towards Summary Grades
Click to Save Changes, then repeat this as many times as necessary for your different subjects and year groups.
How can I change which assessments are showing on my Tracker?
By following the steps above, you can also tick and untick the boxes under your class names from within the assessment list.
This allows you to choose whether certain assessments are hidden or visible on the front-end of your tracker.
You may find this useful if only some of your classes have sat a particular assessment, or if it is only relevant for specific classes.
Once you have edited the assessments on your tracker to your choosing, the Current and Average Unit Grade columns in the summary section will be a sole reflection of the assessments that are left as counting. This could be your latest tests, PPEs or whatever makes the most sense for your tracking.
Why can't I untick a Published Assessment?
It's important to note that each class must have at least one Published Assessment set as counting towards the overall grades per unit. To learn more about how Published Assessments work in this regard, take a look at the following article:
