    I know this is a stupid question but....


    For my course, every subject has both a written element and continuous element. I have my % mark for both of these for every subject.

    If the written element is weighted at/worth 70% overall and CA is worth the final 30% how do I calculate my true mark per subject?

    I'm sure there is just a simple forumla to work this out! :o

    All help appreciated

    When the final year results are posted out, does it give the award eg 2.1,
    2.2 etc?

    It depends on the subject and on the programme.

    Some subjects are 50-50, some are 60-40, some are 70-30 etc.

    On the programme side, some are a straightfoward calculation based on the number of credits, others have more complex rules.

    You need to get your course documentation to find out the details.
