Diploma Exam Mark Rescore Process

Assessment coordinates the rescore efforts for approximately 500 – 700 (<1000) Diploma Exam Mark Rescore requests each year. These rescore requests are received by Assessment via:

  • myPass online rescore requests
  • Paper rescore requests (funneled into Assessment via Student Records or directly received by Assessment)

Primary Scenario #1 - Student Requests for a Diploma Exam Rescore Online

This scenario begins with a student opting to get their Diploma Exam Mark rescored.

  1. Student/Requestor requests for a rescore through the Request a Rescore for Diploma Exam Online (Business Process) sub-process before the diploma_exam_mark_rescore_deadline_date_time.
  2. Assessment synchronizes with PASI to receive the Rescore Request through the Get Diploma Exam Rescore Request service.
  3. When Assessment is ready to initiate the exam rescore process for the Exam Session, an Assessment user will process the rescore requests from the session and submit the requested exams for marking.
  4. Once the exams are rescored, Assessment will record the rescored results in their system
    1. Steps 3 and 4 are external processes that are outside PASI's scope
  5. Assessment posts/synchronizes the rescored Exam Mark data back to PASI through the Submit Diploma Exam Mark services.
  6. Student/Requestor views the rescore result in the View Diploma Exam Registrations and Results screen.

This scenario ends with the Student's Exam Mark getting updated with a rescored mark, and the Student can review the rescored mark in PASI.
