In this page, we'll look at how SSO pairs pre-requisite formulae with results.

The Basics

SSO looks at information that you've uploaded or entered in other screens, and then makes a determination what a student is able to choose freely. 


In Selection Matrix: SSO is looking at the PreReqFormula column, to see what results are required for each selection.

In Selection Process: SSO checks the settings you have for each Instruction, to determine how to handle if a student doesn't have the required pre-requisites.

In Students: SSO is determines which student should be able to choose each Selection with a Pre-requisite.

In Results: SSO checks what results each StudentCode has linked to it.

In Tick/Flick: SSO takes into account any changes to eligibility for a student to choose a selection, based on Overrides made by staff members with access.
 

In terms of matching data, and barring any overrides made by staff members, here are the three basic examples of how the process works:

The Student has met the requirement in the PreReqFormula of >=B on English in Year 10

The Student has not met both the requirement in the PreReqFormula of:

  • >=B in English in Year 10; &

  • >=80 in English exam in Year 10

The Student has met one off the requirements in the PreReqFormula of:

  • >=B in English in Year 10






Acceptable Entries for PreReqFormula

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
