    • Upload a set of grades for the new EPQ qualification.
    • Manually create the EPQ qualification.

  • Proceed to Step 3 if you're creating the EPQ with an existing grade method; otherwise, create a new grade method by following the steps in Sisra Analytics: KS5 - Creating Grade Methods (Admin).

  • Proceed to Step 4 if:

    • You don't need EAP-related figures, for example, Above, On and Below Track and flightpaths for your EPQ.
    • Your EAPs in this cohort use a baseline already set up, for example, Scaled Scores.
    • The EAP Baselines for this new EPQ have already been uploaded and set up.

    Proceed to Step 5 if you have an EAP set up that this EPQ you can use.

    Upload your EAP Baselines for this new EPQ by following the steps in Sisra Analytics: KS5 - Preparing and uploading EAP baselines (Admin). When you reach the Confirm Upload Qualification Names page, select New for SISRA Qualification:

    After the EAP Baseline has been uploaded, set it up, by following the steps in KS5: Setting up EAP baselines (Admin).

  • Proceed to Step 5 if:

    • Your cohort uses one EAP per grade method, and you have an EAP set up for the EPQ grade method.
    • You have an appropriate EAP that uses the correct grade method that can be selected for the EPQ. 
    • You haven't uploaded individual EAP Baselines for this new EPQ, and there is already an EAP using the correct grade method that can be selected for the new EPQ.

    Create a new EAP by following the steps in Sisra Analytics: KS5 - Creating EAPs (Admin).

  • Using an appropriate grade method and EAP for your new EPQ, set the qualification up in the Matching page by following the steps in Sisra Analytics: KS5 - Completing the Matching page (Admin). Enter the QN code and select the EAP. The row will turn great when the correct QN code has been entered, and the EAP selected.

  • After completing the steps above, republish your Students, KS4 / EAP, and Grades sections.

Outcome

Your EPQ is set up.

The EPQ will only appear in Reports when grades have been entered into it.
