Step-by-Step Guide

How to export online test results and grades.

A full results table, not just a screen you have to read from — here's where to find it and how to get it out as CSV or PDF.

The short answer

Open the test's detail view and use the export icons in the toolbar — the full per-participant table downloads as CSV or PDF. Every test built with the online test maker compiles this automatically as students submit, so there's no manual tallying before you export it.

Getting the results out.

From a finished test to a file you can file, print, or hand to a co-teacher.

  1. 1

    Open the test's detail view

    See every attempt in one table — name, email, score, correct count, time taken, and attempt number if multiple attempts were allowed.

  2. 2

    Drill into one participant if needed

    Tap any row to open that person's full question-by-question breakdown before exporting anything.

  3. 3

    Export the table

    Use the export icons in the toolbar to download the same results as a CSV or a PDF.

  4. 4

    Search across every test, not just one

    Use Responses when you're looking for a specific participant's history across every test you've ever run, rather than browsing test by test.

Two different exports, two different jobs

The per-student table and the per-question breakdown answer different questions, so it's worth knowing which one to export. The per-student table — name, email, score, correct count, time taken — is what you want for a gradebook or a school record. Question Performance, which flips the same results around by question instead of by person, is what you want when you're trying to figure out which question the cohort struggled with, not who scored what.

Both export as PDF; the per-student table also exports as CSV if you need to bring it into a spreadsheet or another system.

No built-in LMS sync — here's the honest workaround

There's no automatic sync into a third-party gradebook or LMS today. The CSV export is the practical bridge — most gradebook systems and spreadsheets accept a CSV import, so exporting from YonoLMS and importing into your school's system is a two-step process rather than a one-click one.

What to do with your results once they are exported

Choose the right format

Results can be exported as CSV or PDF. CSV is best when you want to work with the data: sort, filter, calculate averages, or combine results with other records in a spreadsheet. PDF is best when you want to share or file a clean, read-only copy, such as sending results to a principal, a parent, or an auditor.

Many people export both: CSV for their own analysis and PDF for sharing.

Quiz-level vs participant-level exports

The quiz detail view exports a table of everyone who attempted a quiz, with name, email, score, correct count, time taken, and attempt number. For a single participant, the response detail view gives a question-by-question breakdown with its own print and export options, which is useful for parent meetings or individual feedback.

Working with CSV in a spreadsheet

Open the CSV in Excel or Google Sheets and freeze the header row first. Sorting by score shows the spread at a glance; sorting by time taken can reveal very fast submissions worth a second look. Simple formulas give class averages and pass rates. Conditional formatting, such as highlighting scores below a threshold, makes students who need support stand out.

Building a term record

Export each weekly quiz and paste the scores into one master spreadsheet, with a column per quiz and a row per student. Over a term, this becomes a clear record of each student's progress. Averages across the columns give a term score, and trends across rows show who is improving and who is slipping.

Use the email column to match students consistently, since names may be typed differently each time.

Reporting to others

When reporting to school leadership or managers, summarise rather than forwarding raw data: the average score, the number of participants, the pass rate if relevant, and the two or three topics where results were weakest. Attach the PDF export for anyone who wants detail. A short summary is far more likely to be read than a spreadsheet.

Handling personal data

Exported files contain names, emails, and possibly phone numbers. Store them securely, share them only with people who need them, and delete old files you no longer use. Avoid posting full results in public groups; share individual results privately, or class-level summaries without names.

Printing results

For meetings or files that must be on paper, print the PDF export. Individual response details can also be printed, which is helpful for going through a student's answers with them or their parents. For question papers themselves, use the Master Paper export instead, which produces the quiz as a paper with or without answers.

Exports are always available

Reports and exports stay free even after the seven-day trial ends. Everything you have collected remains accessible, so you can export results whenever you need them without worrying about losing access to your own data.

Example: a term report in one afternoon

A teacher exports the CSV from each of her ten weekly quizzes, pastes the score columns into one spreadsheet matched by student email, and adds an average column. Conditional formatting highlights any student averaging below sixty percent, and a quick sort shows who improved most across the term.

The PDF export of her final test goes to the head of department, and individual response details are printed for three parent meetings the following week.

Keeping exports organised

Name exported files consistently, for example 'Class 8A — Science — Week 6 — 2026-09-12', and keep them in one folder per class or course. It sounds minor, but after a term of weekly quizzes, a clear naming pattern is the difference between finding a result in seconds and searching for it for ten minutes.

Exporting online test results, answered.

How do I export online test results?expand_more
Open the test's detail view and use the export icons in the toolbar to download the full results table as a CSV or a PDF.
What's included in the results export?expand_more
The per-participant table includes name, email, score, correct count, time taken, and attempt number if multiple attempts were allowed for that test.
Can I export a per-question breakdown instead of per-student?expand_more
Yes. Question Performance shows how the whole cohort did on each individual question, and that breakdown also exports as a PDF.
Can I find one student's results across multiple tests?expand_more
Yes. Responses collects every result across every test you own in one searchable place, so you can look up a specific participant by name or email instead of opening each test individually.
Does this sync automatically to my school's gradebook system?expand_more
Not automatically — results export as CSV or PDF, which you can then bring into your school's gradebook or record-keeping system manually.
Can I see one participant's full answer sheet, not just their score?expand_more
Yes. Tapping a row in the results table opens that participant's complete question-by-question breakdown, and it can be printed or exported individually.
