Markbook Extra - fully automated electronic teacher markbook

Markbook Extra is an incredibly powerful yet wonderfully simple automated electronic markbook. How does it work? In brief, you enter the student’s raw marks for any assessment and the markbook uses sophisticated analysis to present you with all the data you’d want to see on an individual student or whole classes. Highlights of v5: Overhauled from the ground up to improve on almost every aspect of the original ‘markbook ultra’. Store all of your classes (KS3-5) in one simple Excel workbook. Suitable for any subject area regardless of how or what you assess. Show or hide up to five different assessment objective columns for each assessment. Supports GCSE (9-1 or A*-G), A Level and Pre-U. Goodbye to using different workbooks for different types of grades! Supports Foundation, Intermediate and Higher tier students in the same class and will limit grades accordingly. Supports more than just male and female gender identity. Set your own regularly used grade boundaries in eight quick presets or choose them individually for each assessment. Powerful ‘at a glance’ and on the go analysis of individual student progress, each assessment or classes as a whole. One-click export for headline data for all KS4 and KS5 classes for use by colleagues or line managers. Live analysis of Gender gaps, SEND gap, and PP gap. One click button to print a summary sheet for any student or the whole class at once. This gives a breakdown of all assessments and their marks. Shows progress against targets. Great for handing out and discussing at parents’ evening. Filter by assessment type to offer even more powerful analysis of class strengths and areas for improvement. KS3 markbooks support custom levels/grades or RAG rated strand systems. Sample class included which is packed with helpful tips on how to use the markbook. All Macros work on PC and Mac. This is truly universal and made for everyone! If you have any questions prior to purchase please do get in touch: markbookultra@gmail.com Custom-made versions of Markbook Extra are available.
