Designed on Microsoft excel, this tracking document will help you keep track of the progress of your KS4 students, with specific columns for each of the questions on the exam paper. The sheet will auto calculate total marks on the paper as well as total overall marks, which then feed into an overall grade based on the boundaries released by AQA this week (Aug 2017). Furthermore, to account to boundary movement next year, I have added a buffer column which shows you the grade that would be achieved should the boundary increase by 10% on this year's grade. All you need to do is add the pupil information and the marks they have achieved for each question and the rest is done for you.
