Answer 1

Correct way: By using data models, you can create such data in 4 tables: 1. User table - userid, username, userregno, classno 2. subjects table - subjectid, subjectname, subjectcode 3. testmarks table - testmarkid, userregno, subjectcode, testmark 4. score board table - scoreboardid, scoreboardcode, classno

That will help you to create anytype of report.
