In this page, we'll look at how SSO pairs pre-requisite formulae with results.
...
In Selection Matrix: SSO is looking at the PreReqFormula column, to see what is results are required for each selection.
...
Pre-requisites needs to be turned into a formulaic representation so that SSO is able to determine student eligibility to choose which Selections.
Below are samples of different formats that would be acceptable, and what they mean. In some cases, these have been colour-coded - this is only to represent one required result. Colour-coding is not required for uploading into SSO.
PreReqFormula | What it means |
MATHSPEC | The student must have previously studied MATHSPEC, and the result is not required/considered This might be used to indicate the student must have previously studied Mathematics Specialist |
10ENGE>=50 | Requires 10ENGE with a mark greater than or equal to 50 This might be used if a student needs 50% or higher in their Year 10 English Exam |
10SCI>=B | Requires 10SCI with a B or higher result This might be used if an overall grade of B or higher is required in Year 10 Science |
10SCI>C | Same as above |
10DAN or 10DRA | Previously studied either 10DAN or 10DRA This might be used if either Year 10 Dance or Year 10 Drama qualifies |
10VAR=A and 10MUS>=B | Requires exactly an A result in10VAR and B or higher result in 10MUS This might be used if both Year 10 Visual Arts and Year 10 Music are both required |
10GEO>=B+ and (10PE or 10CHI>=50) | B+ or better result in 10GEO, and completion of 10PE or a minimum of 50 in 10CHI are required This might be used if Year10 Geography, plus either Year 10 PE or Year 10 Chinese are required |
Not 10AVA | Completion of 10AVA precludes the student from choosing this selection This might be used if a student who has studied Year 10 Aviation cannot choose a selection |
