Create custom assessables for EDI Exams

Assessables are automatically created for EDI exams using the basedata as a single session. If you need to change the scheduling of an assessable, you can do this in Arbor without needing to use In-house exams or an external spreadsheet. This is useful in scenarios when:

• Students are given more than one paper to complete in a sitting, and schools cannot dictate how a candidate splits their time. 
• A qualification has a component set for a certain number of hours that can be broken up into multiple scheduled sessions by the school. 

Permissions

You'll need the Qualifications: Administer All Students permission to set up exams. If you don't have permissions, ask your administration team to give you permission using these instructions.
