**Surepass** is Academium's computer-based testing (CBT) application. When your school uses both **Academium SMS** and **Surepass**, the two work together: Surepass uses your school's records from SMS, and sends exam scores back into SMS for grading and report cards.

## What Surepass takes from Academium SMS

Surepass brings in your school's **sessions, terms, classes, sections, subjects, students and staff**. The current term's mark components (such as *1st C.A.* and *Exam*) become Surepass assessment types. You do not need to set them up twice.

## Sending scores back to Academium SMS

1. In Academium SMS, set up the term's exam and its components, as usual. See [Setting up an exam](https://helpcenter.academium.com.ng/academium-sms/article/sms-setting-up-an-exam.md).
2. In Surepass, choose the SMS **exam** and the **component** the scores belong to, such as *1st C.A.*
3. Review the **preview**. Surepass shows which students it matched, and converts each score to the component's full mark in SMS.
4. Send. Surepass reports how many marks were **inserted**, **updated** and **skipped**, and any errors.

The marks then appear in Academium SMS mark entry, and are graded, positioned and printed on report cards like any other marks.

## Good to know

- It works when both run on **school servers** (they connect to each other by themselves), and when SMS runs on the **Academium portal** with Surepass on a school server.
- Report cards are always produced by Academium SMS, not Surepass.
- Send scores before the class's results are authorised in Academium SMS, so they are included in positions and report cards.

- If your SMS runs only on the Academium portal, Surepass can still keep a copy of your SMS records on the Surepass server. See [The Portal tab](https://helpcenter.academium.com.ng/academium-surepass/article/sp-the-portal-tab.md).
