Reminds me of the evening a stag beetle got into my room! Windows wide open, first thing I heard of it was the flapping about, I thought it was a bat as I'd never seen a stag beetle before (or after this encounter!) Remember John Candy in the film the Great Outdoors? Yeah, that was me getting that stag beetle back out...

I've had similar problems, both my monitors were switching themselves off randomly and going blank after I had to move office. Turns out one of the plug pins was loose which my IT support superglued in place.

they did indeed! Thanks @Esteban, rightful order now restored.

Good morning A new one for me: just went into a year group marksheet in assessment manager, and it's ordered alphabetically by first name?! Any idea how I can change it back to be ordered by last name? thanks alot

in Exams Organiser: Reports / Entries / Examination Lists ensure you've selected the right season Candidate Order: select Name (think that's the default). On the right from that, there's a box to select the exams. It will show all exams you've got entries for once you clicked on the magnifying glass. Choose all or a selection of exams / Update / Ok. This brings up a new window. Top right corner there's a button looking like a keyboard (second from right), click on that to export (TSV or CSV) and save. Then open in Excel and tidy up. Hope this helps.

You can produce alphabetically ordered exam entry lists via Exams Organiser in Sims that you can then export into Excel. Normally only the exams officer has access to EO though. There is a report you can run in Sims called Exam Entry Report that you can import. When run, it will list each student and all their exam entries, so might need a bit of chopping and changing to get it into the format you want.

It's been a while since I imported it, but you could get a report imported before the takeover. It's called Student Exam Cards - Exam Number & UCI. Can you check with your support?

If in Sims: Focus / School / Academic Structure / Curriculum Assignment by Scheme. Select the relevant membership scheme which will bring up a grid, then enter the ticks in the relevant sets.

We've also set up AM aspects to add to marksheet templates as @schoolIDM has described.

It's Gary Rhodes in our house, normally have to make 1 1/2 of his recipe so everyone has enough. Pancakes with golden syrup, lemon and sugar, and Nutella (not at the same time) here. Seeing some daffodils around, but the ones in our garden haven't come up yet. No sightings of leeks or dragons. Rain and dreary yesterday

@coolhands spot on

Attended a 6th form info evening last night at my son's school. Not as busy as I remember these events, but of course the 6th form has less students. Chairs were all set up as normal (no extra distance). Apart from me, nine other people were wearing masks...

the only way to import back into Sims would be via a formatted marksheet for that class that the student is linked to. you won't be able to import the individual report.

"Me please!" Thank you

I had one fly in my bedroom years ago. Didn't know at the time it was a stag beetle.

Nobody gets left behind!

thanks a lot for the invite @elsiegee40, but I won't be able to make that day. Hope to meet you all some other time...

It's making me feel quite hungry! @elsiegee40: I read the other day of a farm where you can pick your own asparagus, near Goudhurst. Have you heard of it?

I can confirm no difference in taste! You wouldn't even know there were no eggs in it.

not round this area, unfortunately. Heard of people who cancelled their second, local appointment only to find out that any new appointments are not local. Others had their appointments moved forward a day! Seems to depend where you are in the country...

I had some natural yoghurt and lemons that needed using up and had a recipe for yoghurt and lemon cake (baked it before and quite nice, although recipe asks for Greek yoghurt), but didn't have any eggs. Quick online search showed a variety of how to replace eggs in baking. I went for baking soda and vinegar (cider vinegar in my case). Well, there certainly was nothing mentioned about a funny taste (which I was worried about) when the remains of the dough were scraped out of the bowl! Sons got some for their packed lunch today, so will give an update of the taste testing tomorrow.

9/10, apparently I'm a grammar ninja

I feel bad not choosing the pink ones too

apologies @ass17, it was only in the last proper exam season that we had that we changed from WordPad, and this was the quickest I could come up at the time. With no exams going on, I might have a look into ExamWritePad

as @ass17 said above, the guidelines are in JCQ's terracotta book for Access Arrangement candidates. I have set up a read only Word template with this formatting that is on every exam laptop that we use. Students enter their details eg name, date, exam number etc before starting the exam and save the document with their name.
