Excluding Grades Using the Grader Report
It is possible that the resit mark is lower than the mark from the first sitting, in which case the gradebook (as set up above) will select the first sitting instead.
This method allows you to exclude the first mark from consideration, which for these gradebooks will force the resit mark to be the one returned.
Step 1 - Navigate to the grader report
Select the 'grades' button from the administration tab
OR choose grader report from the dropdown
Step 2 - Sort by resit gradeÂ
Click the arrow button beside the resit exam activity. This will order the class by resit score and allow you to see the students who have sat the resit all in one place
Step 3 - Turn editing on
Step 4 - Edit the student's grades
Find the students grade you want to exclude and select the  button to the left of itÂ
Step 5 - Exclude their grade
Select the checkbox beside 'excluded'. Then click save changes at the bottom.
