Minimum marking in order to pass a unit

Hi
I would be greatful if anyone could advise me on the minimum grade I will need to get from this one assignment in order to pass the unit. I am in my first year and we must achieve 40% in total in order to pass a unit.

Due to unforeseen and genuine circumstances (I had a complicated pregnancy which subsequently meant I had an early and sick baby) I did not submit some assignments. I can only claim EC on a few of these due to the timeframe.

I have three failed units to retake. My grades for each assignment will be capped at 40%. In two of the units each assignment will be worth 50% of the final grade meaning I just need to get a pass in each and I've passed the unit.

However one unit is 30% in one assignment and 70% in the other. I have submitted the 30% assignment and was capped at 40 so my grade in that one was 12% overall (30% of 40) but 70% of 40 is 28, meaning when I add the results, it does not make the minimum 40%, therefore there is no way I can pass this unit considering my grades are capped at the 40?

Is this correct or do they allow for a higher cap because of the 70%? Please could someone advise as I am just so confused and concerned that this means it's came over and I shouldn't even attempt to resit any of them.

If you get 40% in both assessments then yes you will pass, i believe you've gotten your maths slightly wrong there.

I am rubbish at maths so it is possible, but still I don't think I am. One assignment is worth 30% of the grade and the other 70% of the grade (I'm used to it being 50/50) I have my result through for my first assignment (which was graded at 40% but my unit total says 12) I emailed the uni and said I thought this was wrong and it should be 20 but they said no it's 12 due to the assignment only being worth 30%.

So surely if I get 40% in this assignment, combined with the 12 from the other assignment, it won't make an overall or 40%

Isn't it 40% then 70% of 40 gives 28; 28 + 12 [already given] gives a modue pass.
