A2C Advice

[Newtothejob]

Hi - This is the first year the school

I work at are running GCSE and BTEC exams and I am currently covering the exams Officer post (we are recruiting for someone). I need to start entering students for exams via A2C. The program is set up on my PC and we use SIMs. How easy is it to do ? Where is the base data downloaded to, SIMs or A2C? Sorry if these questions are daft but I am a complete beginner here and unfortunately I have no-one in house to learn from ......

I normally download the basedata from the different exam board websites and then extract the basedata into the Examin folder. You can then import the basedata in Exams Organiser via Focus > Basedata > right click on board name > Import Basedata.

 

A2C should be configured so the Inbox points to the SIMS Examin folder, and the Outbox points to the Examout folder.

 

Create entry marksheets in Exams Organiser and populate as required. Then you will create submission files in Exams Organiser, and those files will be placed in the Examout folder. You then use A2C to send the entry files to the exam boards.
