Use the Result Groups tab to link the test or examination to the result group.

For example, a number of classes can be assessed during a combined examination. Entries are added for each test or examination. These are in turn used on this tab to link to the test or examination.

Note: Result group was used before calculations and formulas were developed in Synergetic. Some organisations still use this method using a user-calculation stored procedure.

Note: The Mean, Std Deviation, Min and Max fields for result groups can also be edited in the Statistics window. See Adjusting class statistics.

Tip: Consider using the Formula tab instead. See Subject Assessment Maintenance - Area tab - Formula sub-tab.
