USER MANUAL
5 Reports module
5.1
PURPOSE OF THE MODULE
This module allows you to generate individual or group reports for students who
have completed the SAS or STAT. Reports can be printed or saved for later use in
a variety of formats. The reports are norm-based: this means that an individual’s
performance is reported in comparison to results collected from a large national
population of students. An individual can be compared to different norm groups,
for example to a Key Skill level 1 group or to a Key Skill level 3 group.
This section of the User Manual introduces you to getting started with generating
reports. For further information on generating different sorts of reports, on the
more sophisticated features of the report module and on interpreting reports,
please refer to the Sherwood Reports Interpretation Guide.
If you have purchased a pay-per-use version of the Sherwood Assessment
System, note that producing some reports uses up credits. For information on how
to get more credits, see section 5.4.
