Viewing and comparing GPA data

EdPotential enables you to view GPA data across a range of options, including a class or specific group. You can also compare GPA results across different subjects. This article outlines how to achieve this.

If you have already run a data presentation, click clear assessment selection to begin again.

1. Navigate to Explore the Data, and select the Present the data option.
2. Click Browse (located underneath What do you want to plot?).
3. Select your required options:
   1. Select the required Qualification (e.g. NCEA).
   2. Select the required Qualification Level (e.g. NCEA L3).
   3. Select the Subject of interest (e.g. Chemistry).
   4. Select the Overall Totals you wish to view (e.g. Chemistry GPA).
   5. Click Ok.

4. Select the Year/s of interest (e.g. 2020 and 2021). A box and whisker plot will be generated.
   1. If two years are selected, results can only be compared across year selection (underneath And compare results).

To compare results between groups:

1. Repeat steps 1-4 above.
2. Underneath the heading Year/s of interest, choose a single year of interest (e.g. 2021).
3. Select the results you would like to compare underneath the heading And compare results (e.g. by ethnicity). 
4. A box and whisker plot will be generated comparing the GPA of students in Level 3 English by ethnicity.

Move your cursor over the chart boxes to view full details of the samples.

How can I compare the GPA across subjects?

The following example compares Level 3 Science GPA with Level 3 Mathematics GPA in 2021.

1. Navigate to the Present the data screen, and select Explore the data.
2. From the Present the data screen, click Browse (located underneath What do you want to plot?)
3. Select your required options:
   1. Select the required Qualification (e.g. NCEA)
   2. Select the required Qualification Level (e.g. NCEA L3)
   3. Select the required Subject (e.g. Science)
   4. Select the required Overall Totals (e.g. Science GPA). 
4. Click ok, but do not select a year just yet!

3. Repeat steps 1-4, but for a different subject. In this example, we'll use NCEA L3 Maths.
4. Underneath the heading Which year? select the required year (e.g. 2021). A chart showing two box and whisker plots will be automatically produced.

Move your cursor over the chart to view full details of that sample.
