Important!

*To exclude a student's result and its associated weighting for an Objective in the calculation of the Final Results and/or Overall Subject Grade, an 'NA' must be used. The 'NA' must be set up in the Calculation Rule as '-1'. 

Using the example below, Daniel Glover did not receive a mark for Objective 3.  Because an N/A was entered, the calculation was based on two Objectives (not three) and he still received an A.

To Create a New Rule

Click the 'Create New Rule' button

Step 1 – Enter a meaningful description for the rule (e.g. A+ to E-) and click the 'Next' button.

Step 2 – Enter each 'Grade' and a corresponding 'Numeric Value from:' and 'Numeric Value to:

(Example: A+ = 15 to 15, A = 14 to 14 etc.)

If you are setting up a calculation rule for a large result range such as 1 – 100, you do not need to create 100 entries. Instead, you can just enter the 'from' and 'to' numeric range for each Grade.

For example:

Student Grade

Numeric value from:

Numeric value from:

E

0

19

D

20

49

C

50

69

B

70

89

A

90

100


The grades need to be entered in ascending order. In the example above, start with grade 'E'.

Click the 'Save ' button when finished.

Important!

The 'Numeric Range' rule is a system reserved rule that cannot be deleted or edited.

You cannot edit or delete a rule that is being used in the current reporting period.
