Use "0" for students working below the level of the assessment. It may be the case that you are giving an assessment to a class and you have a student who you judge to be unable to access the assessment (e.g. they have special needs and are working below the level being assessed). In such circumstances we recommend assigning the student a mark of 0. More information on this can be found in this support article. I really like the fact this is a single markbook with all features and whilst on first appearance the markbook looks really useful, since using it, there are a number of flaws that have appeared which given the initial cost are disappointing. When entering scores, I often use a code such as ‘nh’ for no homework in place of a numerical score. This has the effect of awarding an ‘star’ for that homework and thereby affecting the overall grade. Would it be possible to allow for letter codes to go in as well?
You can use copy-paste to enter marks. We know that it can save time to be able to copy-paste marks. So we've enabled copy-paste on all our markbooks, allowing you to copy in marks from a spreadsheet, or copy-paste between cells. Just use CTRL+C (PC) / CMD + C (Mac) to copy, and CTRL+V (PC) / CMD + V (Mac) to do so.
Finally, I've updated the code for the grades so that if you enter an 'N' in the mark column, it won't assign a grade.
Supports GCSE (9-1 or A*-G), A Level and Pre-U. Goodbye to using different workbooks for different types of grades!

The other major thing is that grade boundaries cannot be calculated using a raw score instead of a percentage, when using past papers, the boundaries are given as raw not %. Having to calculate %’s seems to defeat the purpose of having the markbook, plus, there is the potential for rounding errors if converting to %.
Supports Foundation, Intermediate and Higher tier students in the same class and will limit grades accordingly.Yes, once an assignment has been archived by the teacher who created it, it will also appear in the archive for all other teachers (but remember that assignments set by other teachers are only visible when the ‘all teachers’ filter is selected). How can I find the assignments for a specific group or student? You can see student characteristics by using the "Characteristics" slider. At the top left of the markbook, there is a slider labelled "Characteristics". Moving this to the "on" position will show the characteristics of your students, such as their gender, pupil premium, EAL and SEN status. One of my biggest frustrations as a teacher was having to use paper-based record systems, and later Word or Excel, which ended up messy, time-consuming, often unreliable and not reflective of my evaluation. In My Markbook, you can record what you want, how and when you want to record it. You can customise your markbook for individual classes and enter the results of all assessments, using our pre-defined assessment types or ones you create yourself, so you can monitor pupils’ ongoing progress in a way that suits you and your class.
You can't save impossible marks. If you try to enter an impossible mark (e.g. 2 marks on a 1 mark question), the cell will "wobble", and the value will remain whatever it was before you tried to enter the impossible mark. Make sure you complete all parts / tiers. Assessment publishers can set up markbooks to have multiple parts (e.g. if you set an assessment with a part 1 and part 2), and/or tiers (e.g. if you have a "Foundation" and a "Higher" option). If any of those options are enabled, you will see a dropdown in the top right which will allow you to switch between those options. You'll need to ensure all tiers and parts are completed to be able to submit a markbook. Use "N" to indicate where answers were not attempted. You can use the "N" mark to distinguish a "not answered" question from an incorrect question (which should be scored as a "0"). "N" marks still count as 0, but by using the "N" mark, you'll be able to see a difference between incorrect and unanswered questions.Once an assignment has reached its due date, you can archive it. The ‘archive’ button appears in two places: on the group assignment item listing and the assignment item overlay – overview tab. You can also use the ‘archive all’ button at the top of the Current tab to archive all items past their due date. Find out more on Archiving here. What if I’ve archived an item by mistake/changed my mind? Triangulate assessment data with attendance, behaviour and contextual information such as SEND details, support plans,
