Damn, average UMS across the 5 subjects is 237 so just a B

But actually, if you ignore extra maths modules (which i didnt get an overall grade in) my average is 240.25 which is just an A

which still doesnt help me decide what my average grade is...

oh well, i'll vote A/B


Well if the extra maths modules weren't AS then they don't count!
Go for the A! :biggrin:

My average is about an E or D. And that's with only 3 AS levels.

Bloody academication. Stupid is as stupid does... whatever that means.

I don't think they do, but I don't think TSR is anything like a reliable cross-section of A Level students.

My average was a B (233 UMS).
AABD..is my average a C?...lol..am chuffed :biggrin:

Well the A cancels the C, so you're average would be a A/B depending on the UMS...whether the A was low, C was high etc, but that's thinking too far. :rolleyes:

You're supposed to assign each grade with a number then find out the average that way.

A = 3
B = 2
C = 1

3 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 9

9 / 4 = 2.25

2.25 = B

NOT A/B. A/B would've been 2.5.

Note: You can also calculate it by adding all the UMS dividing it by the maximum possible UMS (i.e. 300 * 4) and then dividing it by the number of subjects and according to the average UMS marks you get the medium grade.

Ah, but those 2 systems would give different results.

ie.

[300 + 300 + 239 + 209]/4 = 262

That would be a mid A, not a B! :yep:

Oh, I'm sorry then. Calculating by using your UMS is obviously more accurate (especially in your case since your As and B are so high!):smile:

Lol, nah...they're not my grades or results. I just felt like being awkward and picking results that I knew would give a different result to what you said! :rolleyes:
