In Pathshala, a **report card** is printed from the exam's result sheet — one page per child, with every paper, the total, the percentage, the grade, the position and the attendance figure. The **Exam report** puts every class that sat an exam side by side.

## How to print report cards

> [!PATH] Apps › School & Academics › Exams › Results › Cards

![Results for one class and section with the Cards button marked](media/academy/report-cards-1.jpg "Apps › School & Academics › Exams › Results › Cards")

1. Open **Exams** and press **Results** on the exam (or open the **Results** tab).
2. Choose the **Exam**, the **Class** and optionally the **Section**.
3. Press **Cards**.

> [!SUCCESS]
> A PDF opens with one report card per child, one page each. A long subject list flows onto a second page with a header naming the institution, the exam and the child.

### What is on a report card?

| On the card | Notes |
|---|---|
| Your letterhead | From your institution's settings |
| Child's name, class and section | |
| Every paper with marks and "out of" | Absent papers are shown as absent, never zero |
| Total, percentage, grade | One grade for the overall percentage, from your [grading scale](academy/exams-and-marks) |
| Position in the class | Only if the child has a mark on every paper |
| Attendance | From the start of the exam's session to the last dated paper; the range is printed under the figure. Where a class keeps a register per subject, subject-wise attendance can appear too |
| Date worked out | Every card says when its figures were calculated |

The card has **no** per-subject grade letter, **no** teacher's remark or conduct line, and **no** card number.

> [!NOTE]
> Nothing about a child is stored by printing a card. If you change a mark or a grade band and print again, the card reads the new way.

## What do families get?

When you **Show results** for the exam (or publish their child's section), families see the result in the [MJX Parent app](apps/parent-app) and can download their child's card as a PDF. The family copy is the same card **without** the position and **without** the class average.

## The exam report (every class side by side)

> [!PATH] Apps › School & Academics › Exam report

![Exam report screen with the Exam report row in the sidebar marked](media/academy/report-cards-2.jpg "Apps › School & Academics › Exam report")

1. Open **Exam report** (a coaching centre sees **Test report**).
2. Under **Which exam?**, choose the exam. Drafts are marked "— draft".
3. Read the table. Press **Download CSV** to keep it.

| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Class | Each class that sat the exam |
| Average | The class average percentage, the same figure the result sheet prints |
| Highest / Lowest | The highest and lowest total in the class |
| Marked | Children with a mark on every paper, out of those on the roll (for example 32/35) |
| Out of | The total marks of the class's papers |

If marks are still being entered anywhere, the report says **Provisional** — the figures will move. There is no overall average for the whole institution on purpose: it would weigh a small class the same as a large one. A class whose sections sat different papers is not added up as one room.

## Who can use report cards?

| Task | Who |
|---|---|
| See the result sheet and print report cards | Owner, Admin, Staff |
| Show results to families | Owner, Admin |
| Exam report | Owner, Admin, or anyone with the academic reports permission |

Plan: report cards and the exam report are in **MJX Academic Basic** and above.

## Tips

- Enter every paper before you print. A child missing a mark on one paper gets no position.
- Set the grading scale before results day, not after.
- Use the exam report after each exam to spot the class that needs help early.

## Questions people ask

### Is the report card saved when I print it?

No. A card is worked out the moment you print it and carries the date it was worked out. Re-printing after you change a grade band gives the new letters.

### Does the report card show attendance?

Yes. It shows the child's attendance from the start of the exam's session to the last dated paper, with that date range printed under the figure.

### Can parents download the report card?

Yes, once results are shown to families. Their copy has no position and no class average.

### Is there a teacher's remark or conduct line?

No. The card has no remark, conduct or card number.

### Who can see the exam report?

The owner and admins, or anyone given the academic reports permission.
