# Entering grades/marks in marksheets
A sample marksheet is shown below. The marksheet’s name is **Uned 2 – Gwaith cwrs / coursework** and it is for a subject called **Year 11 Welsh**. It lists students in group **11/Wel**. The qualification linked to the subject is **WJEC Level 1/Level 2 GCSE in Cymraeg Iaith**.
In the top left of the marksheet view you can choose between two possible display options by clicking on the **Layout** button. The scroll option will freeze student names and column headers while you scroll through the marks. On smaller screens the Simple option may be preferred to give you more control over the use of the space on your screen.
The **Tools** menu allows you to quickly access the listed areas of functionality.
Other marksheets can be accessed via the **Marksheet** drop-down.
Depending on how the marksheet has been set up assessments may be recorded as one of the following:
- Marks - e.g. marks out of 10, 20, 100.
- Grades, e.g. 9-1, A\*, Pass, Internal grading scheme names.
- Checkboxes, e.g. to indicate done/not done.
You can click the **?** at the top of each column to check what you should enter.
There is also the ability to add a **Note** column to allow teachers to write comments alongside the grade information. In the above screenshots, the **Section B chosen option** is a note field. Notes are limited to 200 characters.
In BTEC marksheets – if enabled by your curriculum leader - you may see a mixture of checkboxes and a single grade-entry assessment. When you see this, the grade-entry assessment will be a **Teacher’s Minimum Unit Grade** – i.e. the **minimum** grade that you think the student will achieve in the unit. If a student completes enough Learning Outcomes to exceed this minimum grade, the higher grade will be used instead.
**“Not present” marks** – If a student was not present for an assessment, you can enter “/” instead of a mark or a grade to indicate that no mark is available. In contrast to entering a zero or a U, entering “/” does not lower the average mark for a student.
When viewing a marksheet teachers can also use the sort feature to rank students by individual marks or grades in both the marksheet and the grades. This function is only visible when viewing the marksheet and is helpful specifically if the teacher is looking at question level analysis.
This functionality can also be used in the **All students** markbook available from the subject page.
