How do I read a class session report?
Written by the TestFLE team.
In short
A class session report shows, for each student, whether they are done with their level, absent, not started or “Not computable”. Open it with “View the session report”, in the class menu or in the “Calendar”.
Who this is for, and what you need first
- Who this is for
- Teachers who want to know who took the test with their class, with what level, and who still needs to catch up.
- What you need first
- A class session that has ended.
- No right to open tests is needed to read the report.
The steps
- In the sidebar, open “Home”, then the “My classes” tab.
- On the class row, click the three dots, then “View the session report”.
- Read the header. The “Session report” title sits above the class name, the “Session ended on” badge followed by the date, the day of the session and its settings, for example “lightning, in person”.
- Read the five tiles: the students “done”, “in progress”, “not started”, “absent”, and the “incidents to handle”.
- Read the table, one row per student in the class. For a student’s details, open their sheet in “My students”.
The class menu only offers “View the session report” for seven days after the end, and not if another session of the class is already in progress or scheduled. Two other routes lead to the same page, without this seven-day limit.
- The “Calendar”. Display the week of the session, click the session, then click “View the session report”. When several classes have a session at the same time, each row of the window has its own link.
- Notifications. At the end of the session, a notification says, for example: “CE1 Bleuets session ended: 18 of 24, 2 absent.” Its “Open the session” link opens the report.
The “Calendar” link, at the top left of the page, takes you back to the calendar.
The columns of the table
- Student. The student’s name, with the “Inactive” badge when their account is deactivated.
- State. “Done” when the student has finished their test with the class, “Absent” when you marked them absent, “Not started” in other cases. A test that has stayed open keeps its state at that moment: “Taking the test”, “Blocked” or “Called for help”. If it is not blocked and has had no activity for twenty-four hours, TestFLE cancels it at the first reading, for example when the report is opened: the student then goes back to “Not started”. Next to it, the number of page exits, for example “2 exits”, appears as soon as there has been one, whether the test was opened in person or remotely.
- Started and Finished. The start and end times of the test, or a dash when they do not exist.
- Level. The level obtained; “Not computable” when the test stopped before fifteen answers; a dash when the student has no completed test, or when their test, published with at least fifteen answers, gave no global level.
- Actions. This column may be added for the teacher. On a report, it only offers “End the test”, for a student whose test has stayed open and has not yet been cancelled automatically. Cancelling or ending a student’s test describes this action in detail.

Understanding the report
What the report is
The report is the session’s live page, once the session has ended. It is titled “Session follow-up” until the end, then “Session report”. The table is the same, but its levels are final, and a note says so: “Session over: final levels remain, the page no longer updates.” The live view updates every ten seconds, from thirty minutes before the start to thirty minutes after the end, even when another window is in the foreground, and the page says so with “updated 4 s ago”. If it becomes “tracking interrupted, last read” followed by a number of seconds, on an amber badge, the page is no longer receiving live updates: check the device’s connection, then reload the page if the indication does not come back.
Only class sessions have a report: an individual opening has none.
“Not computable” and its notes
“Not computable” replaces the level when the test stopped before fifteen graded answers. No level is published in that case: the student keeps the one they had before this test, and their attempt is not used up. They can therefore take the test again in another session.
Under “Not computable”, a small note gives the reason when it is known.
- “Test ended by the teacher after 9 answers (minimum 15)”: you clicked “End the test” before the fifteenth answer. The number is that of the test.
- “Test stopped at the end of the session after 9 answers (minimum 15)”: the session was in precise mode and its end time came before the fifteenth answer. The number is that of the test.
- No note: the test stopped for a reason other than these two.
A question skipped with the “Skip” button counts among the answers. The fifteen-answer rule is the same for a test you ended as for a test stopped by the end time.
The end of a session in precise mode
At the end time of a session in precise mode, TestFLE ends the tests still open. The report then shows their level when the answers given allow it to be computed, a dash when the test, published, gave no global level, or “Not computable” below fifteen answers. A student who also has an individual opening continues their test thanks to it: they stay “Taking the test”. In lightning mode, tests started during the session can continue after the end time, up to thirty-five minutes of test. Scheduling a session describes the two modes.
What the report does not show
A cancelled test does not appear in the table. The student is then “Not started” there, or “Absent” if you marked them absent. The cancelled test can be found under “Cancelled tests”, on the student’s sheet.
The report details neither the answers nor the skills. For that, open the student’s sheet: What will I find in a student’s sheet describes its tabs. The “Level” column gives the final level of the test taken with the class.
