When calculating highest grade the results stored in each of the three areas of the Exams application will be taken into account
1. EDI2. Non EDI (Edit PI Data)3. External Results (Manual Entry)
When calculating prior attainment we can only take full account of EDI and non
EDI, as external results are unlikely to have a date where the YTI is available, i.e. external results are likely to have a date before the pupil was on roll at the
school

The information we have added manually will not be overwritten when Populate from Exams is clicked again, unless the information has been added to the Exams application in-between.
As expected, the information we have manually added for Hannah has not
been removed by using Populate from Exams
We can also add information for a pupil where Populate from Exams has only
provided some of the information for that pupils
Where the information was not previously calculated from information stored for the Exams application it
is unlikely to be overwritten by clicking Populate from Exams, but the last example above was a change to the information collected by the Exams application,
so clicking on Populate for Exams will mean an overwrite
As expected, the information manually entered for Megan’s Maths Prior
Attainment has been overwritten by information calculated from information
stored by the Exams the application.
You can click in the heading to sort by that row. This is very useful for
finding missing information
As Populate from Exams will only overwrite existing information when it needs to, we need a different method
to go back to “factory settings”. The Reset button provides this facility. After Reset is pressed the screen display will go back to what it was when the application
was used for the first time. This is not as dangerous as it sounds, as the change only becomes permanent when
Save has also been clicked.
