+==== Alternate Competency Values ====
+Some Exams calculate the Exam TScore by Aggregating Competency TScores.  These Competency TScores are calculating using Alternate Mean and Stdev for each unique Competency linked to an Item on the Exam.
+To open the Alternate Competency Value maintenance click the **Edit Values...** button.
+{{:exameditpassalternatecompetency.png?600|}}
+This will open the Exam Alternate Competency Values Edit window.  Here, a grid will list each unique Competency linked to an Item on the Exam.
+{{:exameditalternatecompetency.png?600|}}
+To edit the alternate mean or stdev for a competency, click the pencil to the left of the row.  The users can then change the alternate mean and stdev.  To save the changes click the check box to the left of the row.  To cancel the changes click the x.
+{{:exameditalternatecompetencysave.png?600|}}
+To remove a row from the grid, click the x to the right of the row.
+To exit the Alternate Competency Value maintenance, click the **Close** button in the bottom left corner.
+==== Notes ====
+Once changes are saved, they are saved with the Exam until they are modified again.  This means they do not have to be modified each time a calculation is run.  If no values are setup for the competencies (ie 0), then the calculated mean and stdev for the competency will be used for calculating TScores.
-Mark Version (Maximum)
+If a new Competency is linked to the exam, either by changing the Items on the Exam or modifying an Item already linked to the Exam, the default values for the Alternate mean and Stdev will be 0, meaning the calculated mean and stdev for the competency will be used for calculating TScores.
-How many versions are available to be marked. Ex: 1 vs 3. When doing arbitration
-markings, this must be set to 3.
-Pass Mark
-The score a candidate must achieve to pass (either percentage or raw dictated by
-pass type).
-Pass Type
-Raw mark is the actual score on the exam. How many points they earned. The percentage
-is the number of points earned, divided by the total number of point multiplied by
-.
-Round Type
-Round up, round down, closest digit.
-GUID
-Global Unique Identifier. Used for security.
-Time
-The amount of time candidates have to write the exam (only applies to online exams).
+If a Competency is removed from the Exam, either by changing the Items on the Exam or modifying an Item already linked to the Exam, the Competency Alternate values will be removed.
