Exporting a class summary

A Class summary is a single PDF that covers an entire class’s performance on an assessment — averages, distributions, common misconceptions, students needing support. Great for handing to a head of department, sharing with the year team, or attaching to a marking review.

What’s on it

A Class summary PDF typically includes:

The assessment title and overall class stats (average, pass rate, students marked)
A score distribution chart
Question-by-question performance — which were the easiest, which were the hardest
Common misconceptions across the class
A list of students who might need extra support

It mirrors the insights you can see on the Overview, Questions, and Misconceptions tabs of the assessment — packaged for sharing.

How to download one

Open the assessment.
Click the ⋯ More actions menu at the top right and choose Export.
In the Export dialog, find the Class Summaries card and click Download.

Marking.ai builds the PDF and downloads it.

What about per-student summaries for the whole class?

That’s a different export — use Class Submission Reports from the same Export dialog to get one PDF per student bundled together.

Branding

If you’ve set up branding (logo + brand colour) in Settings → Branding, the Class summary PDF picks it up automatically. See Branding your shared outputs.

FAQs

When should I export a class summary vs. read the Overview tab?

Use the Overview tab to read insights yourself; export the Class summary when you need to share the same information offline, in a meeting, or in a written record.

What if I haven’t marked all submissions yet?

The summary only includes the marks that exist. If you export partway through, it’ll reflect the data marked so far. Re-export after every batch if you want the full picture.

The Class summary is teacher-facing — it shows class-level patterns. For student-facing reports, use the share link or the Student summary PDF.
