How do I set up an offline MESHA assessment?

To set up an offline MESHA assessment:

  1. Create a sitting for your students from the assessment's page (same process as for Online assessments);
  2. Download and print the question booklet and answer sheets; and
  3. Provide question booklets and answer sheets for students to complete.

Video Walkthrough

For a full walkthrough of this process, please see the video below.

 

Step 1: Find your MESHA assessment

  1. Log in to Edrolo and click Assessments in the left-hand menu.

  2. Scroll down to the MESHA section to see every MESHA assessment available to your school.

  3. If the list is long, click Filters and choose Open to show only the assessments available right now. You can also use the Search box.

  4. Find the assessment you want and click View assessment.

⚠️ Note: You can only create sittings for assessments marked Open. Check the Assessment window column to see the dates each assessment is available.

Step 2: Create a sitting

A sitting is the session where your students complete the assessment. You can create one sitting for a whole class, or separate sittings for smaller groups of students.

  1. On the assessment page, scroll to Assessment sittings and click Create sitting.

  2. Select the class (or classes) sitting the assessment.
  3. To include only some students, tick Set for specific students within a class, then tick or untick students as needed. Use Select all or Deselect all to save time.
  4. Under Set the assessment sitting date, click the date field and choose the date and time of the sitting.
  5. Click Create sitting. You'll see a "Sitting created successfully" message, and your new sitting will appear at the top of the Assessment sittings table.

If a student is already in another sitting

If a student has already been allocated to a previous siting, they will need to be removed from that sitting before being able to have an offline assessment paper generated.

  • If a student has not started an assessment, they can be easily removed from their previous sitting by clicking Remove from current sitting.
     
  • If a student has started an assessment, please contact us via MESHA@edrolo.com to remove the student's previous assessment submission.

Step 3: Download and print the assessment pack

  1. In the Assessment sittings table, find your sitting and click the three-dot menu (⋮) at the end of the row.

  2. Click Download assessment pack.

  3. Choose your download format:
    • Questions booklet + answer sheets (recommended): two separate PDF files. One contains the assessment questions, and the other contains an answer sheet for each student in the sitting.

    • Combined file: one PDF that alternates an answer sheet and the questions for each student in turn. This can work for a small group, but separate files are less confusing for bulk printing.


       

  4. Click Download. A loading message appears in the bottom-right corner, and both files download as soon as they're ready.
     
  5. Open the files and print them so each student has a copy of the questions and their own answer sheet. See the Example files at the bottom of this article for reference.

Step 4: Deliver the assessment

  1. Hand each student a copy of the questions and the answer sheet with their own name on it.
  2. Run the assessment under your usual MESHA rules and test conditions.
  3. Remind students to:
    • Use a dark pencil to fill in their answers.
    • Completely shade one circle (A, B, C or D) for every question.
    • To change an answer, rub out the original answer clearly, then shade the new one.
    • Do not write or draw on the QR code, the black corner squares, or anywhere outside the answer circles.
  4. Collect all answer sheets at the end, ready to scan and upload to Edrolo.

⚠️ Note: Writing on the QR code or corner squares can stop the answer sheet from being read correctly when you upload it, so keep sheets clean and uncreased.
