Unsupported resits

Some resit scenarios are not supported in the Assessment Hub. For example when a resit assessment now counts for 100% of the course.

If your resit scenario doesn't fall into "identical" or "different" as described on the Reassessment types page, then it is not currently supported by the Assessment Hub.

You will need to calculate a new course result outside the system and enter this into the student's resit record.

Examples of unsupported scenarios

Examples include when a student is:

  • Resitting an assessment which now weighs 100% of the course (i.e. you want any assessments passed at first sit to be ignored)
  • Resitting a failed assessment but it's now weighted differently
  • Resitting an assessment which they already passed at first sit according to the marking scheme (including when Force Failed is used and student has reached the threshold)
  • Resitting a completely unique assessment which is not part of the first sit's structure
  • Resitting an assessment which weighs 0% in the assessment structure
  • Resitting a failed assessment, but some or all of the passed assessment marks from first sit should not be counted in the new course result.

 

How to process these scenarios

1) Ignore the "reassessment type"

It doesn't matter which reassessment type is set for the assessment (identical or different) because you need to ignore the structure and just enter a new course result instead. 

2) Calculate a new course result outside APT

You can't use the calculate functions of the Assessment Hub. 

Use other methods to manually calculate a new final course result.

3) Enter your calculated course result

Enter the course result into the student's resit record via the little i button.

For guidance see Add or amend final mark (via little i button).

4) Go to the Resit Board

Resits Board Report 

5) Ratify & Publish

After the board ratify and publish the resit result.

Students can't see the assessment structure for resits even if there are components and items. They'll only see the final resit result but still have the option to view the full structure and marks from their first sit.

For more information see Student view.
