How to correct a mock score you entered in Vithi
A mistyped score or an incorrect attempt date can make a mock history misleading. Before interpreting a sudden change, check whether the record matches the paper. This guide is written by Vithi and explains a manual correction using the mock form and the delete control in the current interface.
Decide whether the record is actually wrong
Compare the saved entry with the original marked paper or result notice. Check the exam selection, numerical score and date you took the attempt. A date on a returned email or screenshot may be the return date rather than the attempt date.
A disappointing result is not a data-entry error. If the mark is accurately recorded but lower than expected, keep it and review the work. If a teacher is still checking the marking, preserve the current evidence and wait for a confirmed correction instead of replacing the score with a hoped-for value.
Write down the correction before changing anything
Use this record outside the app: exam; attempt date; value currently saved; confirmed correct value; source of the correction; reason for the change. Keep the marked paper or result notice. This written note is a suggested personal record, not a claim that Vithi supplies an audit trail.
For a hypothetical example, a paper shows 64 out of 90 on 19 October, but the entry says 46. The correction note would say “46 entered by mistake; marked paper confirms 64; same exam and attempt date”. Do not use these example values for your own history.
If the mistake concerns the exam rather than the number, verify which exam and scoring scale the paper belongs to before entering a replacement. A raw mark cannot be compared sensibly with another exam simply because the numbers look similar.
Identify the precise entry in the history
Open the mock area and select the relevant exam. Locate the entry using both its score and full attempt date. The history includes a delete control for individual scores. Check the row carefully when several attempts have similar values or dates.
The current correction route described here is removing the mistaken entry and logging the confirmed replacement. This guide does not promise an inline edit form or an undo action. Do not delete a record until you have preserved enough information to recreate the accurate attempt.
If you cannot distinguish two entries, stop and reconcile them against the original papers first. Guessing which row to remove can replace a small typo with a missing genuine result.
Replace the mistaken entry and verify it persisted
Remove only the identified mistaken row, then use the mock form to log the correct exam, score and attempt date. Confirm that the intended row disappeared and the replacement appears. If the removal or save does not complete, check the visible history before repeating the action.
Reload the view and select the exam again to check the saved state. A cleared input box alone is not enough evidence of a successful correction. Compare the replacement with your correction note and original result.
For a one-entry replacement, the final number of attempts should match the number before the correction. If both the typo and its replacement remain, you have two records for one attempt. If neither remains, the replacement has not been verified. Resolve the discrepancy before reading the trend.
Handle duplicates differently from retakes
Two entries with the same date and score may be a duplicate, but matching values alone do not prove that. You might have completed two different papers. Identify the source for each row before removing one.
A genuine retake is another attempt, even if you used the same paper. Keep its actual date and result, and retain a note with the marked work about the conditions. Familiarity with the questions can affect how you interpret the new score.
A corrected mark for the original attempt is different from a retake. Keep one accurate record for that attempt rather than presenting the old and revised marks as separate exams. Your correction note can preserve why the number changed.
Finish with a short reconciliation
Check these five things: the correct exam is selected; the score matches the confirmed result; the date describes the attempt; each original paper has the intended number of entries; supporting evidence is still available. Only then use the history to decide what to practise next.
If a discrepancy remains, keep the correction note and describe the precise save or deletion problem when seeking support. Avoid sharing an entire personal score history when one affected entry and a description of the error would explain it.
