[sims] Getting Access Arrangements in Exams Organiser into Assessment Manager? Or vice versa

[JoeS]

Hello,

 

I am a Data Manager at a secondary school. We have long had an "Access Arrangements" aspect in Assessment Manager which appears on many marksheets so that teachers are aware of the needs of the students.

 

I don't have much to do with Exams, but have recently realised that in Exams Organiser there is a section called "Special Arrangements" in the candidate details section.

 

What is happening at the moment is that a spreadsheet is being maintained by the SENCO and Exams Officer with all the Access Arrangements details. I am then copying these details into the Access Arrangements aspect in Assessment Manager, and the exams officer is copying all the details into Exams Organiser. A horrible case of double entry, plus the master information being held on a spreadsheet so everything in SIMS is never up to date.

 

I have been trying to get the contents of this spreadsheet into a Marksheet, specifically so the Access Arrangements aspect is being kept up to date in SIMS. But this is still separate from the Exams Organiser data, which is a duplicate.

 

I have noticed that the "Special Arrangements" entered in Exams Organiser do appear in the SEN section of SIMS in a student's profile under 12 Exams Access Arrangements, but I have not seen them appear anywhere else in SIMS.

 

Is there any way to get all this data in one place? Or the Exams Organiser information into a Marksheet?

 

Many thanks.

This has come up at our place a few times and I don't believe there is a way of making the Access Arrangement appear anywhere else.

Thank you, I suspected this was the case. Good to have it confirmed.
