Select the candidate, then select the Edit Duration button. You will be presented with an Edit Candidate Assessment Duration window as below: The Duration slider can be used to alter the time of the assessment as required. A rationale should be provided by selecting the relevant option from the Reason menu. Paper 2 Portfolio-based Project Assessment When allocating finish dates for the project in SOLAR it is recommended that adequate time is included for marking and for candidates to upload any additional/missing evidence. Tip: Set the unit finish date 8 weeks or more after the completion date of the unit. The Lecturer cannot access the candidate evidence until the student has submitted their entire project; this makes the marking end loaded. Similarly, once the project is submitted, candidates can no longer access their evidence. This means if further evidence is needed following marking, the Lecturer has to upload it which can be time consuming. During Assessment Paper 1 Multiple Choice/Response Assessment Overview Paper 1 is an online test consisting of a sample of 30 questions dynamically generated from a larger bank. This means it is unlikely that any two students in the same Cohort will complete the same questions. The assessment is designed such that questions are drawn from the bank covering all Outcomes of the Unit. The assessment is prior-verified and automatically marked with a cut-off score of 60% (18/30). Key codes generates a unique key code for each student which identifies them as a candidate for a specific assessment. This key code is then used by the student to log-in and complete their assessment. How the key codes are distributed to students is the centre’s choice, however in the interests of security, one option is to send by email. As a backup it has been suggested that students take a photo of their key code with their mobile phone (if they have one). Students should not have access to any mobile devices during the assessment, so it may be that the centre or student prints a hard copy for use on the day of the assessment.
