Exporting candidate scripts in the Surpass Publisher

The Surpass Publisher can export candidates’ finished scripts, including candidate details, the correct answer and the candidate’s score for each question, using candidate keycodes. Scripts are exported as a ‘Test Result Overview’ HTML file.

This article explains how to export candidate scripts using the Surpass Publisher.

In this section

1. Navigate to Export Scripts

Select Export Scripts from the Surpass Publisher menu.

2. Find and enter keycodes

Find and enter the keycodes of the finished test scripts you want to export.

For one or a small number of keycodes, select Keycode from the Keycode / Exam Session toggle. Select Exam Session to filter by exam session for multiple keycodes.

Entering keycodes

Enter finished test keycodes in the Exam Keycodes entry field. Separate multiple keycodes by commas or spaces.

Filtering by exam session

To filter by exam session, choose a Date Range, Centre, Subject, Test, and Test Form. Scripts for all matching keycodes for tests taken during your selected date range and according to your selected criteria are exported.
