Overview

This article explains how to enter non-statutory test scores into Sonar Tracker. These scores are for tests you want to formally record as a school, but they aren't required for statutory reporting. Examples of these tests include mock test results and Rising Star results. Teachers often capture test entry results at either the end of each half-term, term or at another pre-defined school data entry point.

Prerequisites

To enter scores, a Sonar Admin must first have set up the scores range and scores ARE sections. For more information see:

• Sonar Tracker: How do I edit the Scores Range for a test?
• Sonar Tracker: How do I edit the Scores ARE for a test?
