In USM, Exam type is a set of examination under which multiple exams can be created. For example, Periodic test is an exam type under which school can take multiple periodic tests. School can assign weightage to an exam type. While generating report card/marksheet, weightage of an exam type will be considered out of 100 and it will be calculated after considering the marks of all periodic test exams(school can define the rule, how to calculate the marks of an exam type based on multiple examinations of that type) under this Period test exam type. If two classes have different weightage of the same exam type, then you need to create two separate exam types with different weightage.
