Subject Analysis Overview

What is Subject Analysis?

Subject Analysis allows you to look at your Alps Analysis for your selected Gradepoint across each of your subjects, either individually or in totality. You can watch the below video guide for a tour of Subject Analysis.

The second is by pressing Choose, this will open a drop down menu with a list of subjects in the Gradepoint, you can use the search bar to find the one you are looking for.
