Two subject moderatorship and points question

J-Doll

Hi, hopefully someone will be able to answer my question. I was looking at the points for courses under the two subject moderatorship (TR001) and it gave subject and points range. For example, Film Studies is 430-525 points. What does this mean? I'm thinking it has to do with the second subject, (purely for example just to illustrate my point, I don't even know if these subjects go together) Film Studies and French might be 430 points and Film Studies and English might be 525. If I'm right why do they not give the points for two subjects together?

Hypothetical situation just to further illustrate my point to make it clearer:

Say I really want to study Film Studies and I see that 430 points is within my points range but 525 is too high for me to get. I really want to do Film Studies and many of the other subjects that can be done with it I also like but with other subjects there is not enough room on my cao for all of them. French is 425-555. How do I know where in that points range the combination of Film Stud. and French fits? Is there anyway of finding out what the combination of subjects was that resulted in 430 points?

So my question is, is there anyway of finding out the points for the combination of all the subjects?

It's the higher of the two subjects that determines the points, yeah. The CAO used to list the actual points per subject, but apparently that was confusing people, given the way they seem to be listing them now...

Anyway, take a look at this, the second page lists the 2007 points for each specific combination (and also which combinations you can actually do):
