good GPAs (1 Viewer)

[Marmalade.]

What's considered a good GPA (on the system where the max is 4.0)?

 

[DTFM]

3+

 

[jake2.0]

IMO it depends on your degree.

 

[AsyLum]

2.0 = pass
3.0 = credit
4.0 = distinction/high distinction

If you're passing, thats a good GPA.

My GPA was 4... /tear

I'd say 3+ because in our system you can't balance out pass/credit with distinction/high distinction.

It does depend on the degree though, in law they are pretty picky but then again I find that it is easier to maintain a good arts GPA compared to my law one.

For some reason I get an overall GPA calculated and a law GPA calculated separately which is weird...I hope my marks keep mine as is or pull them up

For those of you that go to Macquarie university.

I was just wondering why they count both a HD and a D as 4.0 on the gpa scale.

I don't know but its stupid, I went to UWS previously so when I saw my GPA was 3.6 I was like WTF because thats a bit over a pass average by the normal scale! We should all use the same system.

It's just historically how they've done it.

 

[melsc]

Its the same as the american system right?

Yeah but shouldn't the difference between the two grades also be reflected in the GPA?

Perhaps?
HD= 4

while DN=3.5-3.75



I mean, there is quite an effort involved in trying to get HD's in Actuarial studies and other rigorous courses and I can't help but feel that some of those students might just be feeling a little upset with how things are going down atm. On the other hand, i guess all the people with Distinctions would be all too happy to get a 4.0 GPA.


I guess , just as long as no-one gets hurt, it's ok to continue down this path.

Yes melsc, it's the same as the American system.

dumb thread- obviously a good gdp is a hd grade whatever that gpa is depending on what no's ur uni uses.

obviously we need a bit more info based on the course/job you are interested in.

Yeah it's kinda been discussed ad infinitum...
