Information Technology IT – 8 Spreadsheets | e-Consult

The layout of the first three columns should be designed to provide essential identifying information for each student's score. The proposed layout is as follows:

Student ID: This column will contain a unique identifier for each student (e.g., a number or alphanumeric code). This is essential for linking scores to individual students and for data management. Data type: Number/Text.

Student Name: This column will store the full name of the student. Data type: Text.

Exam Date: This column will record the date the exam was taken. Data type: Date.

This layout is chosen because it provides the necessary context for each exam score. The Student ID allows for unambiguous identification, the Student Name provides a human-readable identifier, and the Exam Date allows for tracking performance over time. This structure facilitates filtering (e.g., by student, by date) and sorting (e.g., by student name, by exam date) of the data.
