Assessment Scoring
Scenario comparison
Reassessment Grade Replacement Calculator
Blend an original and reassessment score under a stated replacement weight and show the improvement credited.
Enter the two scores and policy weight
Blending an original and later attempt
An original 64% and reassessment 86% with 70% weight produce a revised score of 79.4%, crediting 15.4 percentage points of improvement.
Policy determines which attempt counts
Some courses replace, average, cap, or require evidence of new learning before changing a grade.
Enter the approved weight rather than choosing the most favorable outcome.
The revised result may compare practice attempts without a grade policy, place the revised score into a weighted course grade, or separate nonresponse from achieved scores in a wider assessment review.
A lower reassessment needs explicit treatment
This formula can lower the revised score when the later attempt is weaker.
If policy keeps the higher result, compare outcomes before applying the replacement.
Arithmetic behind the result
A 100% reassessment weight performs full replacement; lower weights retain part of the original result.
Apply the stated reassessment policy
- Confirm both scores use one scale.
- Read the reassessment rule.
- Enter the later-attempt weight.
- Record the credited change.
Clarifying the inputs
What weight gives full replacement?
Enter 100%.
What weight produces a simple average?
Enter 50%.
Does the calculator automatically keep the higher score?
No. It applies the entered policy weight.
Can reassessment be capped?
Apply the course cap to the reassessment score before entering it.
Preserve the attempt history
Keep the original score, reassessment score, dates, version or task, eligibility evidence, and applied policy. Replacing the displayed grade should not erase the learning history.
Comparable score scales do not guarantee comparable assessment forms; document any change in content coverage.
If only selected objectives were reassessed, a whole-assessment blend may be inappropriate unless the policy defines it.
Use the unrounded revised value in later grade calculations and round only at the reporting stage.
Eligibility conditions such as completing corrections or attending support do not enter the arithmetic, but they determine whether the later score may be used.
If only improvement is creditable, a lower reassessment may leave the original unchanged rather than produce the blend shown here.
For several reassessments, identify which attempt the policy calls original and which later score receives the entered weight; do not chain blends unless the rule explicitly does so.
After calculating the revised assessment score, trace how that value enters the course grade. A reassessment policy may replace only an objective, question set, or component rather than the entire original assessment, so the blended whole-test result is appropriate only when the policy defines that unit.
