6. Entering Marks

Marks can be entered into the Online Exam tool, in addition to the marker responses, only if the Online Exam tool has been paired with an Exam tool (see section 7.2 Linking the Online Exam tool with an Exam tool).

Marks can be entered individually or by csv upload. Any marks entered into the Online Exam tool will also be visible in the linked Exam tool, which can be used with the Final grade tool.

If the Online Exam tool has not been paired with an Exam tool, or your school has given alternative direction please follow school instructions as to where to enter marks.
