Here's a puzzle for you

With a fooking barcode

Pick pick pick. You have the information.

The exam paper is scanned and automarked and the marks stored in the database. Attendance information is keyed in. Which means the school need to know who is attending in advance. Which means the candidate entries already exist, which means the computer needs to pair them up when automarking as I already told you the marks are stored in the database.

Whether it is a barcode, or pixie dust that pairs them up is immaterial.

With a fooking barcode

Why are you rolling your eyes and calling me a berk when your own description of the problem says that the process is so loose it's unworkable so you need a solution, there is no money to pay for it, they have various meetings and workshops and still cannot come up with an answer, the people involved in the process are cretins and cannot be trusted even though they are educators.

Most of use would have started at barcode not finished there

I predict by next week you will be asking us why cans of peas get A Grades and packs of Cheddars only got a D

what was the question again ?

[vetran]

Big Box top RHS on the form labelled

Are you year 8 ? put cross here!

Below this tell the year 9 pupils to put their exams in the box with the big red pink year 9 on it. the year 8's get a box with a blue 8.

99% will get it right, the other 1% will be told they have to wait as they screwed up.

Box on the form marked Invigilator only exam void otherwise - Was the child absent? with a written name field.

You print the same form on the same paper. as you process them then if its marked year 8 its put in the scan later pile.

You have a list of candidates, each is issued a paper which can't be reused as all exams are on the same date. The invigilator spoils the absent ones as they decide its a no show, this can be done while they wait for the exam to finish.

£450 please

The barcode is detail you don't need. The papers are automarked and the marks are stored in the database. Without the attendance information, and without changing the systems how can we quickly identify which papers were not scanned versus non attendance?

This is all you need. Nothing more. Perhaps squint a bit.

If you already barcode them you don't even have a problem and what is this thread all about? If you don't already barcode them and you need to as part of your solution, how are you going to do that with no money or time?
