from SIMS to disk

PLEASE NOTE:

The following instructions relate to the SIMS Exams Organiser module as from July 2009.

Previous instruction for the old SIMS exams module are available HERE.

  1. From the SIMS Exams Module menu select Reports  

  2. From the Reports menu button at the top of the screen select "Results" and then "Certification Results Broadsheet".

  3. A box will appear with various parameters that need filling in.  
    1. REPORT TYPE  
      Choose "Results".
    2. SEASON  
      Choose " June 2009 " for the summer final results.
    3. QUALIFICATION  
      Choose "GCSE" to get GCSE result.
    4. LEVEL  
      Choose "ALL", to get both Full course and Short course, or "GCSE FC" for Full course results only. Selecting "GCSE SC" will get just Short Course GCSE examination result for each candidate.
    5. GROUP  
      Choose "Curriculum Year 11" to obtain the results of Year 11 only.
    6. ORDER  
      Choose "Candidate name" to sort the results into order by candidate surname.
    7. OUTPUT MODE  
      Choose "Grades".

  4. Click on the Export button and then, using the Save As dialogue box, state where you want to save your file. You can either select to save to a memory stick at this point or save elsewhere and copy the file to memory stick/CD/floppy later.  
    Type in a suitable filename, such as "Year13" or "Year11" and click on the Save button.

    That should be all that's required. If you are saving more than one file to the same disk please remember to save each file with a different name or you will overwrite the data in the first file ie. A:\GCSE09.csv and A:\Alevel09.csv

Additional information required

  1. A list of pupil names indicating gender, particularly important if the Sims information only includes pupil initials.
  2. Some indicator information, such as standardised test scores (or KS3 results) for GCSE or GCSE results for A level analysis. This latter may be provided in the form of a SIMS file or a typed list.

The above information is subject to change and is only a guideline.
