Configuration Options for Double Marking Discrepancy

A change was introduced in server versions 8.7 onwards. This has meant there is a change to the default discrepancy (as mentioned above) and this has allowed for customisation of an Instance configuration based on a customer’s individual assessment rules. Below is a table outlining what the original configuration option was (in Version 8.6) and what the possibilities are now, noting the new default. Please raise a ticket with the service desk if you would like to change the configuration of the discrepancy threshold from subpart score to total item score.
