How do i work out my grade? PLEASE HELP :SBasically i want to know what grade i need to get in my written exam to get an A grade.
The subject is Design Technology (Resistant Materials), AS level. In my coursework i got 90/90 which is full marks which weighs 60% of the full as grade. However i have to do a written exam which is the other 40% of the full as grade. The paper is out of 70. How do i work out how many marks i need to get on the written exam to maintain the A grade. I think i am going to screw up the exam so i need to know the marks i need to get to keep that A. Thanks. -

Re: How do i work out my grade? PLEASE HELP :S70 + 90 = 160 total marks overall
you already have 90 / 160 (x100) = 56% of the total marks available.
What are the grade boundaries? what percentage do you need overall to get your A?
for example, if it's 80%, you will need 1.6 x 80 = 128 marks. as you already have 90, you need 128 - 90 = 38 marks in the exam.

Re: How do i work out my grade? PLEASE HELP :SWe can not really tell you because we do not know what the UMS boundaries will be
In the simplest of examples you have 60%, need another 20%, out of 40% so you need half mark (35)
Easier paper and you will need more marks, harder paper and you will need less
I would suggest just trying for the very best that you can do
