You are the GRADE TEN Level Head Teacher of students from Berbice
Secondary School in Region 5. Your school is co-educational.

Science and English. Each student has a course work score, and another
score for examinations done at the end of the term. From these score, the
overall score for the term is computed.

It is customary for the parents/guardians to attend a level meeting with


the teachers to review their child/ward’s performance and as such there
is a fair amount of planning and preparation necessary. Consequently,
the following tasks should be executed:
1. All students information should be transferred from the paper-
based teacher mark book to an electronic grade book;
2. The course work scores and overall score for each student are to be
computed
3. Letters of invitation to attend a Level Meeting should be sent to
parents/guardians.
4. A final report is to be submitted to the to the Head Mistress
indicating the performance of the students and also the outcome of
the review meeting with parents/guardians
It is important that you clearly document any assumptions and
other modification and submit these with your printouts. These
should be on separate sheet titles “ASSUMPTIONS” and
should follow your Table of Contents.
The candidate’s attention is drawn to the fact that a total of 6
of the 60 marks have been allocated to communicating
information in a logical way using correct grammar.
SPREADSHEET

Each student’s assignment for the term is comprised of coursework and an end of term exam.
The Assignment1, Assignment2 are equal to the course work score. All items of assessment are
score out of 20 marks for the course work.
Your Head Master wants you to use one or more worksheets to compute the students course
work score, overall scores and associated letter grade.

change. The weightings and grade table are as followed:

Assessment Type Weighting

Course work 30%

Exam 70%

Final Score Grade

100 – 90% A

89 – 80% B

79 – 70% C

69 – 60% D

59 – 50% E

BELOW 50% F

Each student’s data should contain 3 scores (the Assignment1, Assignment2 and exam). One in
every four students gained an A. the table below shows the assessment given for the Christmas

the student’s ID number, First name and last name. (NOTE: ID is a FOUR digit
number. Number must be in sequence)

new column, compute the overall score for each student based on the weightings
indicated above.
3. Numeric values should be displayed in appropriate formats, with % signs where
appropriate and TWO decimal.

TASK B
On a new sheet:
1. Calculate 30% for coursework and 70% for exam scores. Sort the data in
ascending order by last name followed by first name.
2. The administration decided at the last minute to make the weighting of both
assessment components EQUAL. Adjust EACH student’s scores accordingly.
