Reply from Capita: The Gradeset (eg JC 3) is defined within the Basedata. This defines the Grade only – not the points values. In this example, JC 3 is used for the BTEC Level 2 Diploma as well as the Certificate (and also by other qualifications). We can only apply one set of values to the Grade Set, so the values will be wrong for all but one of the qualifications. However, in Edit PI and Examinations Organiser the PI calculations are based on the correct points as the points are the points are brought through via the Performance Measures which uses the QAN to identify the award. If you want to use the Results in calculations in Assessment Marksheets, you will need to create a Grade Set and Aspect and copy the results over. Whilst the Basedata has the incorrect points for JC21 the Edit Pi will use the correct points as PI calculations are based on the points that are brought through via the Performance Measures which uses the QAN to identify the award. We would therefore advise to create new aspects in assessment Manager with the correct grade set and copy the results over. They then need to use these aspects for calculation.

I noticed that my performance measures weren't agreeing with another package that we use. When I looked into it, I found that one particular qualification which uses JC21 was giving incorrect figures. You can see the points values by going to Focus > Assessment > Grade Set. They should agree with Ofqual's point values.

Hi I'm having a problem with one of the JCQ gradesets (JC 21) having incorrect values. These are included within Exams Organiser. I've tried ringing the Support Desk but they are saying that the error is in the exam board basedata. I know this isn't the case because I've looked all through the basedata and there aren't any grade values supplied. In addition, Capita released a patch on 15/09/14 correcting a different grade set (JC 28). I just want to get through to somebody at Capita who knows about Exams Organiser enough to fix the problem. Has anyone any ideas?
