Different resits
A different resit scenario means the student will resit their failed assessment but with a different underlying structure. This does not include scenarios where a resit is now worth 100% of the course.
Different resit scenarios are partially supported in the Assessment Hub.
If you need to see an example of a different resit scenario please see the guidance on the Reassessment types page.
This guidance is not relevant for unsupported resits
The guidance on this page is not relevant for unsupported resit scenarios.
This includes where a student has passed assessments in first sit but a resit is to now count for 100% of the course. For these scenarios please see Unsupported resits.
How to process "different" resits
1) Set the reassessment type
Make sure the reassessment type is set to "Different" so the assessment level shows in the structure.
For guidance see Reassessment types
2) Calculate a new assessment mark outside APT
Use other methods to manually calculate a new assessment mark.
3) Enter your calculated assessment mark
You can enter the calculated assessment mark via the Enter Marks screen or through the student's little i button.
For guidance see Enter resit marks.
4) Calculate a resit course result
With the manually calculated assessment mark recorded you can now use the Assessment Hub to calculate a new course result in the usual way (see Calculating marks).
Assessments passed at first sit will be included
Remember that when you calculate through the system it will take into account any results for assessments that were passed at first sit.
If you do not want these to be included in the resit course result you need to calculate outside the system and follow the guidance for Unsupported resits.
5) Go to the Resit Board
6) 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.
