Report Cards
Access, understand, and download your child's report cards and certificates through the Testify Parent Portal.
Overview
Report cards in Testify provide periodic summaries of your child's academic performance. They consolidate exam results, subject performance, rankings, and overall grades into a single document. You can view report cards online, download them as PDFs, and share them with family members or tutors.
Types of Reports
Testify generates several types of performance reports for students:
Periodic Report Cards
Generated at regular intervals (weekly, monthly, quarterly, or term-end), periodic report cards summarize performance over a specific time period.
Each report card includes:
- Period Type -- the reporting interval (e.g., monthly, quarterly)
- Period Key -- the specific period identifier (e.g., "2026-Q1", "2026-03")
- Summary -- a consolidated overview of performance during that period
- Creation Date -- when the report was generated
Exam-Specific Reports
Individual exam reports provide detailed breakdowns for each exam your child has taken. These are available through the exam results view and include question-level detail.
Certificates
Certificates are awarded when students meet specific criteria (e.g., scoring above a threshold, completing a course). They are separate from report cards but accessible through the same portal section.
Viewing Report Cards

Understanding the Grading System
Report cards use a grade scale based on average percentage:
| Grade | Percentage | Description |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 90% and above | Exceptional performance |
| A | 80% - 89% | Excellent performance |
| B+ | 70% - 79% | Very good performance |
| B | 60% - 69% | Good performance |
| C | 50% - 59% | Satisfactory performance |
| D | 40% - 49% | Below average |
| F | Below 40% | Needs significant improvement |
Tip: The grade reflects performance across all exams in the reporting period. A single poor exam does not necessarily result in a low grade if other exam scores are strong.
Understanding the Score Breakdown
Marks vs. Percentage
- Marks Obtained -- the raw score your child earned on an exam
- Marks Possible -- the maximum score available
- Percentage -- the ratio expressed as a percentage
For example: 35 marks out of 50 = 70%
Correct, Wrong, and Unattempted
- Correct -- questions answered correctly (full marks awarded)
- Wrong -- questions answered incorrectly (may have negative marking applied)
- Unattempted -- questions the student did not answer (zero marks, no penalty)
Ranking
- Rank -- your child's position compared to all students who took the same exam
- Total Participants -- how many students took the exam
- A rank of 3 out of 45 means your child scored third highest
Accuracy
Accuracy is calculated as: (Correct / Total Attempted) x 100
This differs from percentage because it excludes unattempted questions from the calculation. A student who attempts fewer questions but gets them all right has a higher accuracy than one who attempts everything but gets many wrong.

Report Card Generation
How Report Cards Are Generated
Report cards are generated automatically by the system based on exam data within the reporting period. The system:
- Aggregates all submitted exam attempts within the period
- Calculates subject-wise performance metrics
- Determines the overall grade
- Identifies weak and strong areas
- Generates a summary
When Report Cards Are Available
Report cards appear in the portal after:
- The reporting period has ended
- The system has processed all exam data for that period
- At least one exam was taken during the period
Tip: If a report card is expected but not showing, the student may not have taken any exams during that period, or the reporting cycle may not have run yet.
Best Practices
Regular Review
- Check for new report cards at the end of each month or quarter
- Download and archive report cards for long-term records
- Compare current and previous report cards to track growth
- Discuss report card findings with your child constructively
Using Reports for Improvement
- Focus on subjects and chapters listed in the "Needs Attention" section
- Use specific exam results to identify question types that are challenging
- Set achievable improvement targets based on current grades (e.g., moving from B to B+)
- Celebrate improvements, even small ones, to maintain motivation
Parent-Teacher Communication
- Bring report card data to parent-teacher meetings
- Ask teachers about strategies for weak areas identified in the reports
- Share the trend data to show whether interventions are working
- Request additional resources for subjects with consistently low accuracy
Troubleshooting
Report Cards Not Appearing
- Verify your child has taken exams during the reporting period
- Report cards require at least one submitted exam attempt
- The reporting cycle may not have run yet -- check back after the period ends
- Contact the organization admin if report cards are expected but missing
Certificate Not Available for Download
- The PDF file may still be generating -- try again after a few minutes
- Check that the certificate was issued (verify the
pdf_pathis present) - Contact the organization admin if the download link is broken
Scores in Report Card Do Not Match Individual Exams
- Report cards aggregate all exams within the period
- The average percentage includes all exams, including low-scoring ones
- Verify the date range of the report card matches the exams you are comparing
- Some exams may have been excluded if they were not in "SUBMITTED" status
Cannot Access a Specific Child's Reports
- Verify the parent-child link is active (status = "active")
- The child may not have any report cards generated yet
- Check that you are logged in with the correct parent account
