Creating a Multifunctional / Grading System

This is only applicable to test batteries using standards / normative data

Step 1 - Select the test battery of your choice, click the ... button and select Grading


Step 2 - Define the weighting coefficient (enter 1 if you don’t want to weight each assessment component in a specific fashion)


Define the Grading/scoring scale / Categories table (contact us if you aren’t sure)



Step 3 - Setup improvement points (optional)

  •  AthleteMonitoring calculates the global score for the previous assessment, and subtracts previous score to the current one to calculate Improvement points.
  • AthleteMonitoring adds/subtract the Improvement points to the current global score to obtain a final assessment score.
  • AthleteMonitoring looks for the value matching the final assessment score in the grading table, and returns the associated grade.

If you do not want to use improvement points in the grade calculation, select None in the improvement points section.

 

If you want to use improvement points in the grade calculation, select Improvement Bonus in the improvement points section.

 

Advanced users only - If you want to use improvement points AND having grade adjusted based on the level of improvement, select Improvement Table in the Improvement Options section, enter the improvement points matching the grades in the table and save.
