If you set the quiz to a year 7 class, you'll see the averages from the year 7s during the 2021-22 school year. - [What is Educake?](http://help.educake.co.uk/what-is-educake?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Getting started with Educake](http://help.educake.co.uk/what-is-educake?hsLang=en#getting-started-with-educake) - [Educake subjects and revision resources](http://help.educake.co.uk/what-is-educake?hsLang=en#educake-subjects-and-revision-resources) - [Impact and evidence](http://help.educake.co.uk/what-is-educake?hsLang=en#impact-and-evidence) - [Careers](http://help.educake.co.uk/what-is-educake?hsLang=en#careers) - [Creating and Managing Student Accounts](http://help.educake.co.uk/creating-and-managing-student-accounts?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Adding students](http://help.educake.co.uk/creating-and-managing-student-accounts?hsLang=en#adding-students) - [Managing existing student accounts](http://help.educake.co.uk/creating-and-managing-student-accounts?hsLang=en#managing-existing-student-accounts) - [Login, usernames and passwords](http://help.educake.co.uk/creating-and-managing-student-accounts?hsLang=en#login-usernames-and-passwords) - [Single sign-on (SSO)](http://help.educake.co.uk/creating-and-managing-student-accounts?hsLang=en#single-sign-on-sso) - [Managing students with your MIS and Wonde](http://help.educake.co.uk/creating-and-managing-student-accounts?hsLang=en#managing-students-with-your-mis-and-wonde) - [Setting and Reviewing Quizzes](http://help.educake.co.uk/setting-and-reviewing-quizzes?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Creating and setting quizzes](http://help.educake.co.uk/setting-and-reviewing-quizzes?hsLang=en#creating-and-setting-quizzes) - [Viewing quiz results and reports](http://help.educake.co.uk/setting-and-reviewing-quizzes?hsLang=en#viewing-quiz-results-and-reports) - [Sharing and distributing quizzes](http://help.educake.co.uk/setting-and-reviewing-quizzes?hsLang=en#sharing-and-distributing-quizzes) - [Managing your quizzes](http://help.educake.co.uk/setting-and-reviewing-quizzes?hsLang=en#managing-your-quizzes) - [Data analysis tools](http://help.educake.co.uk/setting-and-reviewing-quizzes?hsLang=en#data-analysis-tools) - [Quiz troubleshooting](http://help.educake.co.uk/setting-and-reviewing-quizzes?hsLang=en#quiz-troubleshooting) - [What Do Students See?](http://help.educake.co.uk/what-do-students-see?hsLang=en#main-content) - [How answers are marked](http://help.educake.co.uk/what-do-students-see?hsLang=en#how-answers-are-marked) - [The student experience](http://help.educake.co.uk/what-do-students-see?hsLang=en#the-student-experience) - [Using Educake as a Student](http://help.educake.co.uk/using-educake-as-a-student?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Logging in](http://help.educake.co.uk/using-educake-as-a-student?hsLang=en#logging-in) - [Quizzes and revision](http://help.educake.co.uk/using-educake-as-a-student?hsLang=en#quizzes-and-revision) - [Staying safe online](http://help.educake.co.uk/using-educake-as-a-student?hsLang=en#staying-safe-online) - [Subscriptions and Payment](http://help.educake.co.uk/subscriptions-and-payment?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Free trials](http://help.educake.co.uk/subscriptions-and-payment?hsLang=en#free-trials) - [Pricing and payment](http://help.educake.co.uk/subscriptions-and-payment?hsLang=en#pricing-and-payment) - [Managing your subscription](http://help.educake.co.uk/subscriptions-and-payment?hsLang=en#managing-your-subscription) - [Technical Stuff](http://help.educake.co.uk/technical-stuff?hsLang=en) - [Known issues](http://help.educake.co.uk/known-issues?hsLang=en) - [Data, Privacy and GDPR](http://help.educake.co.uk/data-privacy-and-gdpr?hsLang=en) - [Terms and Conditions](http://help.educake.co.uk/terms-and-conditions?hsLang=en) [![educake\_logo\_lengthways\_purple](https://help.educake.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Logos%20and%20Branding/educake_logo_lengthways_purple.png?width=258&height=80&name=educake_logo_lengthways_purple.png "educake_logo_lengthways_purple")](https://www.educake.co.uk) [www.educake.co.uk](https://educake.co.uk/) [mailto:support@educake.co.uk](mailto:support@educake.co.uk) Copyright © 2026, Educake Ltd
