Record who sat each exam paper from **Attendance → Exam**.

1. Choose the **exam** (the current term's exam is chosen for you), then the **class**, **section** and **subject**.
2. Mark each student **Present**, **Absent** or **Late**.
3. Save.

## Good to know

- Exam attendance has its own permission, separate from the student register.
- Exam attendance reports are under **Reports → Attendance**. See [Attendance reports](https://helpcenter.academium.com.ng/academium-sms/article/sms-attendance-reports.md).

## With Academium Surepass

For papers taken on computers in **Academium Surepass**, each sitting's analytics show who started, who submitted and who is still in progress. See [Watching a sitting live](https://helpcenter.academium.com.ng/academium-surepass/article/sp-watching-a-sitting-live.md).
