Introduction
Boost Insights is designed to help you collate and analyse your assessment data. Before you can do that, however, there are some steps you'll need to complete.
Follow the guide below to set up your account and keep it up to date.

Review Our Technical Requirements
To ensure that Boost Insights works as expected, please review our technical requirements.
This is especially important if you plan on administering interactive tests.
Check Your Access Coordinator
The Access Coordinator is your user manager for Boost Insights. You'll need to know who they are to set up and manage your account.
If you've used MARK in the past, then the Access Coordinator will carry over to Boost Insights, along with their login credentials.
If your school is completely new to Hodder Education and our digital products, you'll need to register an account with us first, then sign in to Boost Insights with the same details. You'll be prompted to nominate an Access Coordinator while doing so.
Alternatively, if you're not sure who your Access Coordinator is or you need to change your Access Coordinator, contact the digital support team.

Add and Grant Access to Staff and Learners
There are two main methods by which the Access Coordinator can add staff and learners to your account.
The first is to add them manually, either by entering their details directly or uploading them via CSV file.
The second is to import them by syncing with your MIS.
If you use or have used any of our other platforms, like MARK or Boost Learning, then any existing users will carry over to Boost Insights. However, the Access Coordinator will need to grant them access before they can use the platform.
Administer Interactive Assessments, Record Your Marks
Once you've added your learners to Boost Insights, the next step is to record their test data on the system.
If you administer our interactive assessments, your learners' marks will be recorded automatically.
If you administer our paper tests, however, then you'll need to enter your learners' marks manually.
Any member of staff with access to Boost Insights can assign interactive tests and enter marks.
Analyse Your Test Data
As soon as your learners' marks are on the system, you can start generating reports to analyse the data.
Boost Insights includes a range of free reports as standard to help you analyse class, group, and individual performance.
Our Shine Interventions subscriptions offer even more options.
Prepare for the New Academic Year
At the start of a new academic year, your Access Coordinator will need to promote your learners to their new year groups and classes. In addition, they'll also want to remove any leavers once they no longer need their test data in Boost Insights.
