Hi I have developed a few simple quizzes to test students on the keywords for different topics I teach. I would now like to be able to store each students last 5 scores in the quiz to show progress. I teach 4 different classes and would like to keep each classes scores separate if possible. I am fairly new to Python and don't necessarily want the code to do this, just some possible ideas to get me on the right track. The simpler the better.

A simple text file will work just fine with one line per student per grade. Use a comma or some sequence to separate the fields. Each record would contain class, date, student ID or name, and the score. If you only want 5 scores, then you would also run the file through a filter that would only keep the latest 5 class, date, student ID records. You can store all of the classes in one file or output a separate file for each class, which would be faster if the files are huge but if you are expecting a thousand or so records it doesn't make much difference.
