## Academic Years

Click **New Year**, enter a name (for example 2026 or 2025/2026), and tick **Set as current year**. Years can be renamed, archived or set as current. Switch years from the top bar.

## Exam Types

The exam types your centre prepares students for. Click **Add Custom** to add one, such as JUPEB or IGCSE.

## Batches

Click **New Batch** and choose the **Year**, the **Exam Type** and a **Batch Name**.

Open **Manage Students** to add students to the batch or remove them. A student can belong to more than one batch.

Tests, exams and practice are given to batches.
