Exams+ New Cycle Guide
This guide is designed to help schools and consortiums complete their setup and key checks ahead of the next cycle of Entrance Test examinations
Exams+ is a system designed for use by Grammar Schools, or schools offering an Entrance Test, to collect the registration details for children who will be sitting the examination. These resources will cover the key aspects and features of the Exams+ system.
Exams+ is a standalone product; it does not connect to your MIS and is also separate to your Admissions+ system.
The process:
1. A school (or consortium, depending on your setup) creates the Exams+ system and configures the questions which need to be answered by parents.
2. The school/consortium publishes the link to their Exams+ system, so parents can register, create an account and apply for their child to sit the test.
3. Children sit the test (September) and the results are processed.
4. The school/consortium receives the results and these can then be uploaded into Exams+.
5. The results can be shared with the parents in two ways; either by email (using mail merge tokens) or by turning on the "Test Results" phase and inviting parents to log in and view the results.
6. Based on the results, parents can then make a decision about whether to apply for a Grammar School place for their child, via the Local Authority.
7. Schools receive their Local Authority lists in March and can then ask parents to complete their admissions/data collection forms via their Admissions+ system.
