Method 1

Calculate Overall Subject Grade(s) based on the average of the Final Results

When this method is selected, the 'Overall Subject Grade' is calculated by averaging the 'Final Results' Objective columns that have been selected for the calculation.

By default, the calculation will evenly weight each ‘Final Result' when calculating ‘Overall Subject Grade'. Optionally, your school may have enabled functionality that allows you to allocate differential weightings against 'Final Results'. When differential weightings are applied, ‘Final Results’ are then averaged with their weightings applied to obtain the 'Overall Subject Grade.'

When differential weightings are enabled, you can select which ‘Final Results’ to include in the calculations and apply weightings via the 'Use Differential Weightings’ column on the ‘Calculation Rules’ screen, which can be accessed by clicking on ‘Calculation Rules’ in the 'Overall Subject Grade’ hamburger menu.

This method does not allow you to include past reporting periods in the calculations. However, past Reporting Periods can be used to calculate the Final Results.

When differential weightings are enabled, you can select which ‘Final Results’ Objectives columns to include or exclude in the ‘Overall Subject Grade’ calculation via the ‘Calculation Rules’ option in the 'Overall Subject Grade’ Objective’s hamburger menu.

Before calculating the ‘Overall Subject Grade' using this method, you must first calculate the ‘Final Results.’ The 'Final Results’ are determined based on the raw scores of the activities/objectives and their respective weightings. These calculated ‘Final Results’ are then averaged to obtain the 'Overall Subject Grade.'

Method 2

Calculate Overall Subject Grade(s) based on weighted Activity Objective Raw Scores ONLY

When this method is selected, the ‘Overall Subject Grade' calculation is based on the ‘maximum result’ and ‘weighting’ of each ‘raw score’ result for each Activity Objective. The ‘Activity/Objective raw scores’ are averaged, and their associated 'weightings’ are applied to reach the ‘Overall Subject Grade'.

'Final Results' are ignored and do not contribute to the calculated 'Overall Subject Grade'.

Include past periods by selecting 'Yes' in the 'Include Past Periods' field, accessed via 'Calculation Rules' in the hamburger menu.

Method 3

Calculate Overall Subject Grade(s) based on the addition of the Activity Objective Raw Scores ONLY (ignores weightings)

When this method is selected, the ‘Overall Subject Grade' calculation is based on 'Activity/Objective raw scores’ only. The 'Activity/Objective raw scores’ are added together using simple addition to reach the ‘Overall Subject Grade'.

‘Final Results' and ‘weightings’ are ignored and do not contribute to the calculated ‘Overall Subject Grade'. Apart from Activity Objectives that have been given a weighting of 0, these will be excluded from this calculation.

The sum of all Activity ‘Maximum Results’ must equal the 'Maximum Result’, which is defined as the Overall Subject Grade 'Assessment Method’.

Include past periods by selecting 'Yes' in the 'Include Past Periods' field, accessed via 'Calculation Rules' in the hamburger menu.
