jesus. you didn't even look on the front page of the MU thread.

there's a thread titled, who-woulda-guessed-it?, "GPA", in the mac thread.

Working out your overall GPA is complex, but this is for individual subjects

0 - 49 = Fail
50 - 64 = Pass
65 - 74 = Credit
75 - 84 = Distinction
85 - 100 = High Distinction.

Then working out the GPA:

GPA = (4D + 3C + 2P + 1O + 0F) divided by n.

D is the number of credit points gained at HD and D,
C is the number of credit points gained at CR,
P is the number of credit points gained at P,
O is the number of credit points gained at PC,
F is the number of credit points gained with an F grade.
n is the total number of credit points you have

One of my tutors told us that at MQ , they're lot more flexible with the marks and a that mark over 46 can still be considered a pass. So that's still good news...

No. That would be considered a Conceded Pass.

Either that or she must of lied to me *cries*

Well, there's no intrinsic difference between a pass and a conceded pass- they're worth the same GPA value, which is all that matters, really, not your marks.

Trust you to notice that!

Apologies to all.

i'm kidding

does anyone know the real reason why d and hd are worth the same? apparently, i heard on this board, it's because hds are harder to get than at other unis, but then wouldn't it still be worth including them in the gpa?

ahaha owned.

I know, it's a bitch. I generally get highish Ds, and it's like there's no insentive to get an HD- I mean, I'm not going to get an HD average and hence get it on my transcript.

 

[iambored]

I feel the same. In one sense it takes the pressure off because i don't need hds because a d is good enough, in another it's bad because one credit does a lot of damage to the gpa (it takes the pressure off getting hds but puts the pressure on getting credits). It's probably better as it is for me personally because i would never have a chance with people who get straight hds, so at least this masks it and puts me closer to them than i would be with the other system.

MQ=Lazy uni.

therefore it would be safe to assume, that it was happy hour when they started to work out the High Distinction stuff, and went to the bar instead.
