Move through the screens representing the appropriate learning area subjects. 4. Scroll through the achievement standards, strands and sub-strands, selecting levels by tapping. The content descriptions for each level are displayed in scrolling boxes. Tap the header for the level that best describes the student's ability, then scroll to the next sub-strand. 5. Generate a report that includes details of the student's current levels, and the next level to be attained. Notes can be added. 6. Export the report via Email, Dropbox or to an iPad app. 7. Open the report in your favourite editor, perhaps Pages on the iPad or Microsoft Word on a PC to add finishing touches.
