Thats actually dependant on your coursework grade. If you know your marks I could work out the amount needed for a C

Could you please tell me how many id roughly need in this paper to get a grade C pass overall ??

So would that be out of the total makes in the paper which were 50??

So I only needed to get about 10 marks for a pass?

I think I got B in coursework and a b/c in speaking and listening, how much marks will I need?

THAT EXAM WAS TERRIBLE.

I got a 32 in coursework, 6 for reading, and 18/25 in Speaking. How Many marks would I need to get a C?

For anyone else whos wondering what they'll need
The way you calculate it is by multiplying your speaking and listening mark by 0.843.

E.g (0.843 x 29) = 24.447

Then you add that mark to your coursework

E,g 49 + 24.447 = 73.447 (Rounds down)

The Grade boundaries then are C: 76 B: 86 A: 96 A*: 106

So for this individual to get an A* it is 33 marks

Where did you get the information on about how to work out grade? I thought you needed 83 for a C?
