Recording / Revising the Final Exam

The final exam (test) can only be recorded in the last term/quarter of the school year. If a final exam is used, only 59 (not 60) assignments can be recorded in the term. Print Outs will automatically set the assignment title to Final Exam.

Select the class and enter the number of points possible for the final exam. Then enter the final exam grades in the data entry grid. All letter and special grades that could be entered for regular assignments can be entered for the final exam. These grades can be revised at any time with this menu selection. Click the Save button to save these grades. Click the Cancel button to abandon any changes.

The final year grade can be calculated with or without a final exam. The final year grade is calculated by giving each term of the school year an equal weight. If semester exams are used, each semester of the school year is given an equal weight. By setting the two spinners, the final exam can be assigned the appropriate weight. If the Use Semester Grades checkbox is marked on the SetUp menu | Teachers Settings selection, semester weights will be used instead of term weights.
