Load GED Exam Marks
The PASIprep Load GED Exam Marks function allows users to load and manage GED exam mark information through the upload of an XML file received from GED Testing Services.
The Load GED Exam Mark function is available via the Courses & Marks menu.
The process to Load GED Exam Marks is broken into 2 Steps:
- Step 1:Upload File - The user selects the desired file for processing.
- Step 2:Summary – It provides the user with information on any data validation errors or the final processing results. The user has the option to export these records to CSV.

Step 1: Upload File

Processing on [Continue]
Structure checks and data validation are performed to ensure the file can be loaded successfully. Note: While these validations are being performed the GED file has not been transmitted to PASI.
If the XML file does not conform to the expected GED File format the GED file will fail on one of the following Structure Check processing rules below and a message is displayed to the user.
| Rule - Description |
|---|
| Rule 49518 - Invalid GED File |
| Rule 49501 - Duplicate Examinee in GED File |
| Rule 49502 - Empty File |
If the structure checks all pass, then GED Exam Marks are added, updated and deleted to a student's record based on the Exam Mark and ASN Mapping logic on the GED Exam/Examinee Conceptual Overview wiki page.
Step 2: Summary
If the file fails one or more structure checks or data validation rules the entire file is rejected and not loaded. If the GED file passes all structure checks and validation rules then the file data contents are loaded into PASI.
Data Validation
The following rules are used to validate whether the file contents are compatible with their expected formats. If one or more of the following rules fail the relevant error messages are displayed in a grid. Note: The file is not processed in this case.
