In this section we are going to learn how to mark a Pre and Post Test for an individual student or Cohort
Step 1: You first need to Choose the Student or Cohort you would like to mark
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you do not know how to select a student or cohort from the student/cohort selection menu please refer to the instructions found below
Step 2: Once you have selected the Student or Cohort you are now ready to mark your Pre/Post test
Step 3: Navigate to the Pre/Post Test option in the main menu
- Select Markbook from the main menu
- Then click Marking
- Then select Pre/Post Test
Step 4: Find the Pre/Post test you would like to mark
You will be presented with a list of all your Published Pre and Post tests. You can scroll through this list to find your test or you can filter down the tests by selecting the Domain and Strands. This will present you with a list of only the tests in the Domain and Strand.
Here I have filtered down to see only Pre and Post Tests in the Domain of Math and the Strand of Measurement and Geometry
Step 5: Select to mark either the Pre-Test or Post-Test.
Marking an Individual Student's Pre/Post Test:
If you have selected an individual student from the "Student or Cohort" Selection menu then you will see only that student and all the questions ready to be marked for that student.
In this example we are marking a Pre & Post test with Right/Wrong Answers only
- Click on the question and select either Right or Wrong
- Once you have selected the answer the question will be coloured green if it is correct or red if it is incorrect.
- Continue to mark down all the results for this student to the end of the test.
Once you have finished marking all the questions for that student click the save button to save their results
Once you select save you will see a save confirmation for that student
PRO TIP: You can quickly mark a test using keyboard shortcuts on your computer
- First select the first question in the test and enter the correct result
- Then hit tab on your keyboard, you will be automatically taken to the next question.
- From here you can quickly enter the results by using the following keyboard short cuts

Mark a Cohort of Student's
If you have selected a cohort of student's from the "Student or Cohort" Selection menu then you will see a list of all the student in that cohort ready to be marked.
To find a student to mark, you can either scroll down the page and find the student or use the search option to find the student
When you have found the student you would like to mark, click the Edit button next to that student
A list of all the questions for that student will open up. In this example we are marking a Right/Wrong question only.
- Click on the question and select either Right or Wrong
- Once you have selected the answer the question will be coloured green if it is correct or red if it is incorrect.
- Continue to mark down all the results for this student to the end of the test.

The student's results will be saved and you will then see a list of all the students remaining to be marked
Continue down the list of student's and finish marking and saving all the students in that cohort
You will see a summary of the number of correct answer next to each student, this is a simple way to know if you have already marked that student.
