What should I do if I want to update the grade table for the existing grading system?

If the existing grading system had been used in grading any one of the school exams,  you should NEVER update the existing grading system. The reasons behind are :

1. It will mislead user since the exam result graded still reflect the original grading system and it will not tally with the modified grading system, Eg original grading system with marks 81 & above is considered as A but after grading system modification, 85 & above is considered as A only.

2. The Average Grade for GPK (Grade Purata Keseluruhan)  analysis fails to report correctly (ie 0% on Pass or Fail) since  the graded exam result  for analysis still reflects the original grading system which is no longer tally with current modified grading system.

3. The Average Grade of GPS (Grade Purata Sekolah) analysis fails to report correctly since  the graded exam result  for analysis still reflects the original grading system which is no longer tally with current modified grading system. 

As such, user should CREATE new grading system whenever new Grading System is introduced. All the Grade table related to new Grading System must be defined in the system first and thereafter assigned to Level Offered, Subject Offered and Subject Exam Setting functions before processing class / level ranking.

If the  modification of grading table after produced exam ranking is still required, user must perform the steps as illustrated below in order to reflect the latest updated grading system before re-processing class/level ranking.

1. Update the Level Offered function by clicking “Process” button at Basic ~ > Curriculum Mgmt Module

2. Update the Subject Offered function by clicking “Process” button at Basic ~ > Curriculum Mgmt Module

3. Update the Subject Exam Setting ~ > Normal Exam at E – Report Card Module ~ > Parameter. If your exam has setup for the subject where the marks are to be input by paper, please update the Paper Exam Setting ~ > Normal Exam at E – Report Card Module ~ > Parameter as well.

4. Go to Exam Mgmt ~> Mark Input ~ > by class & Subject, re – update the each subject marks accordingly.

5. Finally, go to Exam Mgmt ~ > Produce class/level ranking process, to automatically grade the exam marks and sort the position of the students in the class as well as in the level.
